Bonding

---

Bonding is a process used to fix minor tooth damage and prevent decay or worsening problems resulting in teeth weakened by chips or cracks. The dentist uses a composite material that matches the natural color of the patient’s teeth to cover the damages and restore strength to the tooth. The composite can be shaped and applied to fit the tooth properly, ensuring that appearance and function are restored. Once the bonding material is suitably contoured, it is hardened and bonded to the tooth using ultraviolet light.
