Dental bonding uses resin, which comprises a mix of glass and tooth-colored plastic. The resin is used to fill or cover various dental problems and it's a cheaper alternative to porcelain veneers.

Cosmetic dental bonding fixes problems such as filling a large cavity, restoring teeth that do not have adequate mass as a result of decay, and brightening heavily and deeply stained teeth. It's also an option for filling tooth chips and cracks and protecting the tooth root once the gums recede. A dentist can also utilize the bonding technique to fill gaps found between the teeth. If you are receiving veneers or crowns, a dentist can use bonding to hold these prosthetics in place. It is also used to improve the size or symmetry of your teeth.
