Bonding

Bonding is a three-step procedure. First, the fronts of the teeth are treated with a mild acid. Next, the plastic bonding material (it has a consistency of bread dough) is placed and sculpted to the desired shape. Finally, the material is hardened with a high-intensity light.

Advantages:

Bonding produces strong, natural looking restorations, it allows in-the-mouth repairs, and it is a one-appointment procedure.

Disadvantages:

Some tooth reduction is required, and it is generally considered a non-reversible procedure that makes you dependent on bonding for rest of your life.
