In dentistry, Bonding can improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, broken, cracked, stained, or have spaces between them. It is the process of placing aesthetic white fillings to damaged tooth areas, as different from amalgam fillings. These bonded fillings actually adhere to the tooth structure and make the tooth stronger. There is a slightly higher incidence of short term sensitivity than with silver fillings, but they are very aesthetic, often indistinguishable from ones natural teeth.
