Dental bonding can be used to cover up imperfections on the teeth, but it also has other benefits as well, including:

  • To fill in a small gap between two teeth
  • To repair decayed teeth by filling a cavity with tooth-colored resin
  • To change the shape of a tooth
  • To repair chips or cracks in teeth
  • To cover up discoloration
  • To protect the root of a tooth after it's been exposed by receding gums
  • To make a tooth look larger than it is, which is usually done to make it match the other teeth
