Restoration of your aesthetics is very important. Due to this, periodontists carry out different procedures, invasive and non-invasive, on the victim. In this section, we will have a look at bonding and bone grafting as dental restoration procedures.

BONDING

Distinguishing between a natural tooth and an artificial one is hard. Composite resin has made these factors almost if not similar. It is attached to the tooth in the case of a crack, filling chips, fractures, discoloration, or minor gaps in teeth.

HOW IS BONDING DONE?

Composite resin is attached to the tooth and it assumes its original shape. The resin is meant to match the color of your natural teeth and its original appearance. The hardening of the composite is done using curing light as soon as it is applied. At the end of the appointment, you have a natural and happier smile restoring your confidence, bite, and aesthetics.
