Bonding

Another option to whiten stained teeth, lengthen short or chipped teeth, and fill in gaps between teeth is dental bonding, a procedure in which a plastic resin is applied to the front surface of a tooth. First, the dentist erodes the tooth and applies phosphoric acid to it. The acid creates tiny crevices in the tooth in which the resin can stick. Next, he or she applies the resin to the tooth and shapes it into an aesthetically pleasing form. A light source cures, or hardens, the resin. The dentist completes the procedure by polishing and smoothing your tooth.
