The material is made of composite resin. This synthetic material can be molded to attach to your tooth to look natural. It is then cured to make a strong adhesive to your natural teeth.

Yes — Modern Composite Resin Makes It Possible

If you’re wondering whether a your dentist can match your natural tooth color, the answer is yes. Thanks to advances in cosmetic dentistry, composite resin materials can be precisely matched to your existing tooth shade for a seamless, natural appearance.

Dentists use a shade guide to compare and select the closest color to your natural teeth. This process typically includes:

• Evaluating your natural tooth color under natural and clinical lighting
• Using layering techniques with multiple resin shades to mimic enamel depth and translucency
• Customizing the texture and finish for a realistic appearance

Composite resin is a tooth-colored material made from a blend of plastic and fine glass particles. It’s commonly used in:

• Dental fillings
• Tooth bonding
• Veneers
• Cosmetic contouring

This material is not only durable but also highly esthetic, making it ideal for natural-looking dental restorations.

Absolutely. A skilled dentist can make your restoration virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth, especially when working with high-quality composite materials and advanced techniques.

Bonding usually lasts around 10 years but some have had dental bonding last much longer. Some of that depends on your dental habits and how you care for your teeth.

The dentist will rough up your tooth so the bonding substance will adhere to it. They then put it on, shape it, and cure it. Then it is polished to blend in with your natural tooth.

A dental bond can help with tooth function, like eating corn on the cob. It provides more strength to your natural tooth because it covers any damage like a crack or chip.
