The best use for bonding is to repair slightly chipped, discolored, or misaligned teeth.  Bonding involves placing tooth colored filling material (composite) onto the tooth.  This has been a dental technique for many years.  The advantages of bonding is that it is inexpensive and an ultra conservative way to restore a tooth.  Recent advances have increased the strength, durability, and longevity of these restorations.  When polished it gives the appearance of natural tooth structure.
