Composite Bonding in Clifton, NJ

Small Changes That Can Refine Your Smile.

Composite bonding can address selected cosmetic concerns such as small chips, uneven edges, gaps and changes in tooth shape. Our team evaluates your teeth, bite, oral health and smile goals to determine whether bonding is an appropriate option for your needs.

What Is Composite Bonding?

Composite bonding uses tooth-colored dental material that is carefully shaped and bonded to selected teeth to address certain cosmetic or restorative concerns. Depending on the tooth, the size of the area being treated, your bite and your overall dental needs, bonding may be used to improve the appearance of chipped, uneven, discolored or irregularly shaped teeth.
