Dental bonding is a dental treatment that involves using tooth-colored composite resin to help repair teeth that have either cosmetic or functional imperfections. Many use dental bonding to help repair cracked, chipped, or discolored teeth.
There are many problems that dental bonding can fix. Knowing what it can help you with is valuable when deciding what dental treatment you should undergo to address your issues.
How Does Dental Bonding Work?Â
After your teeth have been cleaned, the resin will be matched to your tooth color so that the bonding looks seamless and natural. Light etching will be used on any teeth that will get treatment. This gives your enamel a rougher surface, which is easier for the resin to bond.
When ready, the resin is applied and sculpted until the desired appearance is achieved. The resin is then hardened with the use of a curing light.
What Issues Can Dental Bonding Address?Â
- Uneven teeth
- Chips and cracks within teeth
- Crooked teeth
- Gaps in between teeth
- Discolored teeth that are not responding well to whitening treatments
Advantages of Dental Bonding
- It is much cheaper than other dental procedures like dental crowns or porcelain veneers.
- Dental bonding typically only requires one visit.
- The resin color used is made to match your natural teeth, so the procedure is undetectable.
- No anesthetic is needed to perform the procedure.
- It is an entirely non-invasive procedure.
- You don’t have to remove any healthy enamel part for dental bonding to occur.
