This first tooth bonding case
comes from Dr. Paul Koch, our mynewsmile.com member dentist from
Birmingham, Alabama. This teenager had gaps between several teeth, and
Dr. Koch, in one appointment, filled them in with bonding material,
carefully and artistically sculpting the material so that it looks
beautiful and natural. For more information about Dr. Koch, see our
Alabama page. |

This bonding case was done by Dr. Stephen Thordarson, a
mynewsmile.com recommended dentist from near Toronto, Ontario. For more
information about Dr. Thordarson, see our
Ontario page. The male
patient presented with old, stained fillings, and
crooked teeth, and left with a
beautiful, straight smile. This bonding relies on
the artistic skills of the dentist working chairside. |

Direct bonding is an excellent technique for
wedding cosmetic
dentistry, if time is a big issue, because it can be done in one
sitting.

In this set of photographs, Dr. David Hall,
the author of this site, added
bonding material to parts of several of the front teeth to make them
look straight. Here is the "before" photograph. |

After.
See how the result blends in naturally so that it's hard to tell where
the bonding was done. There was actually quite a bit of bonding
material used here, though it's hard to tell where it is.
Few cosmetic dentists do
composite veneers any
more. Read about them on the linked page.

The pictures below, of a patient treated by Dr. Hall,
the author of this site, show a patient with a
tooth gap in the front.
Bonding material (composite), which is manufactured to simulate tooth
enamel as perfectly as possible, was applied to the gap. With the proper
artistic shading, shaping, and polishing, the final result looks so
natural that it is very difficult to tell that anything artificial has
been added to the teeth. |

appointments.) |
