Bonding

Bonding in dentistry is a dental procedure used to restore and repair teeth, such as those with cavities or chips. It is also used to improve the appearance of teeth, such as by changing the color or shape. The process involves the application of dental adhesive material and is often used to lessen the amount of tooth structure removal when preparing a tooth for restoration. Bonding can also be used to close gaps between teeth and protect a tooth’s root surface. Bonding is typically done in one visit to a dentist and can be used with direct and indirect restorations, depending on the individual patient’s needs.
