Broken teeth are comfortably repaired through cosmetic dental bonding

Bonding is typically comfortable and can yield dramatic results in a single office visit.  Essentially, bonding hides any natural flaws through the placement of a thin plastic coating on the front surface of the teeth.

After treating the tooth surface, we apply a putty-like bonding material that is then sculpted, shaped and colored to suit your needs. A high-intensity light causes the plastic to harden after which the new surface is smoothed and polished.

Bonding can lighten stains, close gaps and even alter crooked or malformed teeth. At Northwestern Dental Group we can even utilize it to change the shape or color of a single tooth or if necessary to remake your entire smile.

Please call our office at (847) 967-6744 for a cosmetic consultation.
