In dentistry, bonding actually means recon-touring the front teeth so as to fill the unsightly gaps and cracks, repairing chipped edges and corners on the front teeth and putting a thin covering of compound resin to change the color and contour of the tooth. Technically speaking, bonding is the chemical bonding of a particular substance with the structure of the tooth.

Nowadays, dental bonding is actually used in the form of dental cosmetic bonding in the following ways:

• It is used in the filling and repairing of the sensitive and abraded areas of the teeth near the gum-line.
• Dental Cosmetic Bonding is also used in the filling of the cavities or broken and chipped areas of the front teeth.
• It is also used in minor recon-touring and reshaping of the teeth to give it more natural contacts and contours.
• It is also effective in back teeth cavity filling with composite resins rather than silver amalgam.
• In the present day, bridges and crowns are chemically bonded to its anchor teeth with the help of bonded cements.

The best part of the dental cosmetic bonding is that no drilling is required here as the materials are bonded. Hence, this no-drilling dental bonding also makes sure that most part of the natural teeth is preserved.
