Dental bonding is the application of a tooth-colored resin with the use of adhesives and curing light to ultimately bond the material to the tooth. Dental Bonding is used for cosmetic purposes that will enhance the appearance of discolored or chipped teeth. Also, it is used to close spaces between teeth, either to make the teeth look longer or to change the shape and color of the teeth. Dental Bonding is often used as a cosmetic alternative for amalgam fillings — or known as silver fillings.
