Bonding/Tooth Colored Fillings

Dental bonding is an excellent way to repair cracked, chipped, or broken teeth and can also be used to replace silver-mercury amalgam fillings. Using a composite resin specially matched to your natural tooth color, Dr. Russell will repair and reshape your teeth in a relatively short and painless process. First, the tooth is "roughened" to make sure the resin adheres. The resin is then applied, shaped, and hardened using a high-intensity light. Finally, Dr. Russell will polish the tooth so that it gleams with a natural luster.

Not only does the resulting tooth look much better, it is also now protected from further cracking and decay. Dental bonding is a convenient and affordable way to repair your teeth and eliminate obvious metal fillings.
