What is Dental Bonding?

In Dental Bonding, a resin/composite material with a color that matches the tooth is applied on the tooth. It is hardened by using a special kind of light to make it bond with the tooth.

Dental bonding can be used to repair a cracked or chipped tooth. It can also be used to close any break or gap between teeth and it can give your tooth a total make-over.  This is because it can change your tooth’s shape, treat discoloration and can fill cavities in a decayed tooth. 

The whole dental bonding process will take about 30-60 minutes per tooth; the results can be achieved instantly. You can correct common defects on your tooth and regain your self confidence in just an hour! 

Dental bonding requires care and proper maintenance to last for a long time.   Make sure to follow Dr. Buffington's instruction on how to properly care for your dental bonding: maintain good oral hygiene.
