Failing Bonding Upgrade for a Natural Smile
Older bonding can lose polish, discolor, chip, or stop matching the surrounding teeth. In this case, the failing material was replaced and reshaped to improve color, contour, and overall smile harmony while preserving healthy tooth structure. The result is designed to look cleaner and more natural in everyday speech and smiling, with a finish that can be maintained and refreshed over time at SOL Dental Arts in Maspeth, Queens.
