How Dental Bonding Is Done
Dec 16th, 2008 by Dr. Kourosh Maddahi DDS
Dental bonding could be an excellent corrective treatment for you if you have…
•   Gaps between your teeth
•   Small chips or cracks
•   Discolored patches
During the bonding procedure, a dental composite paste is matched to the exact color of your existing, natural teeth. The material is then molded into place – over the crack or discolored patch being treated. Next, the composite is hardened with a high-intensity light beam. Once the bonded tooth is dry, the treated tooth will look perfectly smooth and flawless. The final look and overall shape of the tooth will match your other teeth. The procedure is relatively painless; patients generally don’t need any anesthetic whatsoever.
Dental bonding can last for up to 10 to 15 years with minor touch-ups every now and then as needed. For more information about dental bonding or other cosmetic procedures, contact our office.

If you have lost a tooth in your lower jaw and the tooth itself occupied a rather narrow space… can the existing two teeth on either side of the space be”built up’, so to speak , with bonding to almost close the gap, or at least to narrow the gap that the missing tooth created??
