The composite resin used in bonding can be shaped and polished to match the surrounding teeth. Most often, bonding is used for cosmetic purposes to improve the appearance of a discoloured or chipped tooth. It also can be used to close spaces between teeth, to make teeth look longer or to change the shape or colour of teeth.
Bonding & White Fillings.
Bonding, and white fillings are the application of tooth-coloured composite resin (plastic) materials to repair a decayed, chipped, fractured or discoloured tooth, to make teeth appear longer, and as a cosmetic alternative to amalgam fillings.
This same material is also the cosmetic alternative to amalgam fillings. These materials are classified as a short term options with bondings and fillings lasting from 5-10years. Dr Innes is extensively trained in composite fillings and dental artistry and as such has the ability to produce beautiful fillings.
