Deep dives

Defining Transitional Bonding Technique

Transitional bonding is a composite technique requiring little or no prep to transition from a defective dentition to a more restored condition. It aims to be reversible, using one composite throughout the process. By building up the teeth with minimal preparation, the technique focuses on conservatively improving aesthetics, primary anatomy, smile design, and occlusion.
