In most cases of crowded, chipped, gapped, discolored, or unsightly teeth, we can bond a special composite resin tooth colored material over the teeth, covering up most defects. This procedure is also used to close spaces and gaps between teeth. Many times, we can bond crooked teeth and it will give the illusion that they look straight, without doing braces! We call this "Instant Orthodontics" . Bonding is an easy procedure and is done in one appointment. Bonding may require periodic polishing and can occasionally stain or chip, but it is a relatively economical and conservative treatment.
