Bonding & Veneers

Before	After

Veneers can improve your smile. They may be used to improve color and shape, close spaces between teeth, lengthen small or misshaped teeth or whiten stained or dark teeth. Bonding is tooth-colored material and can be used to repair minor chips or spaces in between teeth.

Bonding is a process in which tooth-colored composite resin is applied to tooth surfaces, sculpted into shape, hardened and polished to match surrounding teeth. Bonding can close gaps; repair chipped or fractured teeth and disguise discolored teeth. In many cases, bonding is a reversible process, involving little or no tooth reduction. With good oral hygiene and slight maintenance, the newest bonding materials can last many years. Bonding generally requires one office visit and no anesthetic. Veneers are thin, customized layers of tooth-colored porcelain or resin which are bonded directly to the teeth for maximum esthetics and minimum tooth reduction. Veneers are durable, stain resistant and natural looking. They conceal broken, chipped, discolored, crooked and misshapen teeth. Veneers can also be used to eliminate gaps between teeth. They are exceptionally strong, lasting a very long time with minimum maintenance. Most veneering procedures require two office visits.
