Gaps on the teeth is a problem that is common among men. It sometimes makes them feel less confident and lowers their self-esteem. Teeth bonding is an effective way you should consider when correcting this problem.

Your dentist will then use a file to roughen the teeth. He or she will then apply a conditioning gel on the roughened surface. The rough surface and conditioning gel help composite resin to adhere to the surface.
The dentist applies composite resin that matches the color of your teeth. He or she then molds and smooths the composite resin on the surface of the teeth. Your dentist uses a blue light or laser to harden the composite material.
