Dental Bonding: Other Cosmetic Procedures

Following orthodontic treatment, this patient was left with some areas where the gums receeded between her teeth, creating the appearance of little "holes" in her smile. (Dentists call these "black triangles.") Dr. Costaras performed a bonding procedure to close the gap between teeth and gums and eliminate the smile distractions. This is a good example of how dental bonding can achieving excellent results when used the way it is intended. For an example of how bonding can be misused in cosmetic treatment, see the case titled "Achieving a more natural look ..." in our Porcelain Veneers gallery.
