Bonding
Chipped, cracked and fractured teeth can ruin your smile, but at Albee Dental Care, we offer several restorative solutions including tooth bonding. Bonding is a great option in order to restore or repair fractured, cracked, or discolored teeth in a most satisfying and cost effective manner.
Bonding involves applying and customizing a layer of composite resin to the tooth. The resin is carefully matched to the color of the remaining tooth structure and creates a most natural appearance.
The process takes only one visit. The tooth is first prepared, by microscopically etching the surface in order to make it a little rougher so that the bonding material will adhere to it. A bonding liquid it then brushed over the tooth. Next, the resin is applied and molded to perfectly repair the defect. A special light directed at the tooth hardens the resin. The procedure is then completed by removing the excess resin and polishing the new restoration to a smooth finish. The bonded tooth appears completely natural and blends in perfectly with the rest of your smile.
