Bonding
Cosmetic Dental Bonding (also known as composite or composite fillings) is the act of using a natural-colored light-sensitive composite resin filling to fill in cavities, gaps (diastemas), cracks and general flaws. Teeth can be reshaped, repaired (filled), straightened, made whiter, made brighter, made simply more attractive with a few thin coats of composite resin. It is less invasive and less expensive than crowns or veneers and more attractive than typical amalgam (silver) fillings.
Unfortunately Cosmetic Dental Bonding doesn't last as long as Porcelain Veneers or Crowns and will need to be replaced within 10 years. However, it is better for your teeth than amalgam fillings as it will expand and act like natural enamel as opposed to the unyielding metal fillings.
