Cosmetic Bonding

Cosmetic Bonding is used in limited ways to make
minor cosmetic modifications or repairs on teeth.

Cosmetic Bonding

Cosmetic bonding is the use of tooth-colored composite resin for filling, repairing, or making aesthetic improvements to a tooth.

Bonding can be used to reduce spaces between teeth, lengthen small teeth, or repair a tooth that’s worn or chipped.

The bonding technique can also be used for small fillings.  White or tooth-colored fillings have been a preferred method of filling teeth for decades.

For minor cosmetic modifications and repairs, bonding resins are extremely strong and wear-resistant.  Done correctly, dental bonding is an excellent, highly aesthetic, and long lasting result for repairing, restoring or enhancing a tooth.

The procedure is “technique-sensitive,” which means the procedure has to be performed precisely and without error. Because Dr. Foutz is a skilled perfectionist, he performs this procedure with the fine detail needed to ensure success.
