Composite Bonding
In Leesburg, FL
What is Composite Bonding?
- Composite bonding involves the application of a durable, tooth-colored resin to repair and enhance teeth. The resin is sculpted to the perfect shape, hardened with a high-intensity light, and polished to blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth, offering an immediate improvement in appearance.
How Does Composite Bonding Work?
- The procedure begins by roughening the tooth surface to ensure the bonding material adheres properly. The composite resin is then applied, molded, and smoothed to the desired shape. A curing light hardens the material, which is then finely polished to match the sheen of the rest of the teeth.
