Tooth bonding is a procedure in which a tooth colored composite resin is applied to a tooth to correct such defects as spacing, color variations, chipping, fractures, excessive wear or dental caries (decay). The resin is hardened with a high intensity curing light, shaped and highly polished to make it indistinguishable from natural tooth structure. In the patient pictured, a space existed between his two upper front teeth, drawing attention to a slight imperfection in an otherwise pleasing smile. The bonded addition blended in perfectly with his own tooth color and texture to create for him an attractive, natural smile.
