What is Bonding?
Bonding is a process that is applied both to eliminate aesthetic defects and to eliminate problems in oral and dental health. The composite filling to be applied in the bonding process is selected in accordance with the tooth color, placed on the teeth and shaped.

- Changing the shape of the teeth to have the desired tooth appearance,
- Treatment of cracks and fractures due to various reasons,
- Filling the spaces between the teeth,
- Treatment of dental caries,
- Enlarging the tooth sizes for an aesthetic appearance,
- Bleaching of yellowed or stained teeth.
In order to obtain maximum efficiency in terms of both aesthetics and health, the bonding process should be performed by a specialist and experienced physician.
