Bonding:  In one appointment we can change your smile by bonding thin layers of plastic to your teeth.   There is little cutting involved most of the time. Once the tooth is roughened with a hand piece , the tooth surface is prepared by placing a blue acid on the tooth.

Then the bonding or composite is placed in small increments to form the new shape.

Once the composite is placed and the tooth is shaped, the bonding is hardened with  a laser or ultraviolet light.
