Tooth Bonding

This technique is excellent for minor defects in the front teeth, such as chips or spots.

If there is a small space between the front teeth, dental bonding can be used to widen the teeth and close the space.

People sometimes wonder why dentists don't use this technique more and instead use crowns or porcelain veneers for these minor defects. The answer is because tooth bonding requires a considerable amount of artistic skill, since the restorative materials are shaped freehand directly onto the tooth. Many dentists don't feel comfortable doing this. Drs. Malone and Brasseaux, however, are not just dentists but artists, too, and are comfortable with these techniques.
