Dental bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that uses a tooth-colored resin material to repair minor chips, cracks, gaps, or discoloration on the teeth. It is a relatively quick and non-invasive treatment that can be completed in a single visit to the dentist. The bonding material is applied to the affected tooth, shaped, and then hardened using a special light. The result is a natural-looking restoration that blends seamlessly with the surrounding teeth. Bonding is an affordable and conservative option for improving the appearance of the teeth, but it may not be as durable or long-lasting as other restorative options like dental veneers or crowns.
