The term bonding refers to the process of applying tooth colored material to your existing teeth. Now we can quickly change the shape and color of your teeth in usually one appointment. In most instances, this tooth-colored material can be used instead of the silver fillings that are used in the past in back teeth. This tooth colored material is now used commonly in restoring back teeth also. This way the filling blends in with your natural tooth color.	The above picture shows the teeth after bonding was applied  and what a difference it made. White filling material was used to bond and shape his teeth to a more natural contour. The color of bonding material was matched to his other natural teeth so that all his teeth would look uniform. This procedure is less costly than veneers or crowns and the teeth do not have to be cut down at all.
This patient hated his large gap between his front teeth and he wanted it somehow closed in without doing braces. We bonded a little composite material on each side of his tooth to fill in the space.	This picture is after the bonding was completed. The patient was extremely happy with the results.
This patient had a small crack between his teeth and we filled it in with the bonding material.	The crack was filled in and the patient was pleased with his results. We have several different shades to match different tooth colors.
