PROCEDURES
DIRECT ADHESION DENTISTRY
Cracked, decayed and chipped teeth are common, but they can flaw your smile. Whether as a result of teeth-grinding, too-vigorous tooth brushing, decay, or just bad luck, many damaged or disfigured teeth can be restored in one office visit. Because the dentist adheres restorative materials directly to the teeth, this technique is called "direct adhesion". (You've probably heard it called "bonding".)
Direct adhesion methods maximally preserve the existing natural tooth structure. Properly cared for, outright material failure is rare.
