Cosmetic Dental Bonding – Royse City, TX

What is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding is the process of sculpting and securing a missing or additional portion of a tooth to your existing one to make your smile more symmetrical and even. Using the same material we use for tooth-colored fillings, called composite resin, our cosmetic dentist in Royse City can shape the chipped or gapped portion of a tooth. To attach it to your existing tooth, our cosmetic dentist will etch your enamel and apply cement. The putty will be secured to the tooth and hardened using UV light. Once affixed, you’ll be able to use your restored tooth just like your natural ones.
