What is Direct Bonding?
For this procedure, Dr. Noble will place a small amount of putty-like composite resin directly onto your teeth. He’ll use special tools to mold it into the ideal shape, then harden it in place with a special ultraviolet curing light so that it bonds with your enamel. The material is customized to match the hue of your natural pearly whites, so it blends in seamlessly for a perfect finish.
This method is frequently used to address problems like:
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Both internal and external stains that may not respond to traditional whitening
- Minor gaps or spaces
- Overly small or worn-down teeth
