Dental bonding is a restorative procedure that fills in decaying teeth with a composite resin (durable plastic) which is hardened with a high-intensity light that essentially “bonds” the material to the tooth. Composites are tooth-colored in order to effectively create a natural looking restoration in either the front or back of the mouth.
Dental bonding can produce one or all of the following results:- Repair decayed teeth
- Repair chipped or cracked teeth
- Lighten discolored teeth
- Close spaces between teeth
- Alter the teeth’s length or shape
- Protect the tooth's root if receding gums have exposed it
- It's painless. Often, only minor drilling involved, so there is no need for a local anesthetic.
- It doesn't take much time. Several teeth can usually be veneered in one visit.
- It costs a lot less than crowns or porcelain veneers. Before direct veneering, crowns were the only way to improve the look of chipped, widely-spaced or discoloured teeth.
- It can be used on children, because bonded material can be removed and replaced as children's teeth grow.
- The bonding substance used to adhere these fillings into your tooth will strengthen your tooth and provide you with restorations which can last between 10-12 years.
- It's a quick, painless, and affordable way to drastically improve one's smile!
What Problems Does Dental Bonding Fix?
Dental bonding can fix a number of dental problems, including gapped teeth, chipped or fractured teeth, discolored or stained teeth, and oddly sized or shaped teeth.
How Long Will Dental Bonding Last?
Tooth bonding is able to withstand everyday functions, allowing you to eat and live without worrying about your teeth. How long the bonding lasts can depend on many things, including how you care for your teeth. If you perform good homecare and routine dental check-ups, dental bonding lasts for many years. If you are not consistent with home care or professional cleanings, the bonded teeth will not last as long as they could. Bonded teeth are susceptible to staining just like normal teeth, so you should avoid smoking and limit intake of wine, green tea, and other staining products.
How Much Does Dental Bonding Cost?
