Dental bonding, also known as composite bonding or teeth bonding, is a cosmetic dental procedure employed for the purpose of improving the aesthetic appearance of one's smile. It involves the application and subsequent hardening of a tooth-colored resin substance, known for its durability and composition of plastic. This process is facilitated by the use of a specialized light, resulting in the bonding of the resin material to the tooth. The primary objective of teeth bonding is to repair or enhance an individual's smile. In the treatment, we administer tooth-colored resin material onto the impacted teeth with the intention of altering their form, size, or color.\ When is Dental bonding suggested?
