What is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is a versatile cosmetic dental procedure that involves the application of a tooth-colored resin material to improve the appearance and functionality of teeth. This resin is meticulously applied to the tooth and then hardened with a special light. This process bonds the material to the tooth, restoring or enhancing the tooth’s appearance. Dental bonding is lauded for its simplicity and ability to yield immediate results, making it a popular choice for those seeking minor dental corrections. It is an excellent option for patients looking to make cosmetic improvements without the need for more invasive procedures. Bonding is also one of the most conservative and minimally invasive options available as it requires little or no tooth preparation, working to improve the appearance of your teeth while also preserving your natural tooth structure.
When is Dental Bonding Recommended?
Dental bonding is recommended for a variety of purposes, including:
- Repairing decayed teeth
- Repairing cracked or chipped teeth
- Closing gaps between the teeth
- Improving the appearance of stained or discolored teeth
- Changing the shape of the teeth
- Protecting exposed tooth roots following gum recession
Due to its versatility, dental bonding is often an excellent solution for correcting these and other issues in a noninvasive and cost-effective manner.
The Dental Bonding Procedure
The dental bonding procedure is straightforward and usually requires just one visit to our office, making it one of the simplest and fastest cosmetic dental treatments available. The process begins with the selection of a resin color that closely matches the patient’s tooth color, ensuring a natural-looking result. Next, the surface of the tooth is roughened, and a conditioning liquid is applied to help the bonding material adhere to the tooth. The tooth-colored resin is then applied, molded and smoothed to the desired shape. A high-intensity curing light is used to harden the resin. After the material has hardened, our prosthodontists will make any final adjustments to the shape of the bonded tooth and polish it to match the sheen of the rest of the teeth. The entire procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes per tooth to complete, offering a quick and effective solution for enhancing dental aesthetics.
