Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure that can be used to improve the appearance of your teeth. Bonding can change the colour, shape, or size of your teeth. It can also be used to fill in gaps between your teeth.
The procedure for dental bonding is relatively simple. First, your dentist will select a shade of composite resin that matches your natural tooth colour. They will then roughen up the surface of your tooth so that the resin will adhere properly. Next, they will apply the resin to your tooth and mould it into the desired shape. Finally, they will harden the resin with a strong blue light.
Dental bonding can provide immediate results that you’ll be able to enjoy for years to come. In most cases, bonding will last for 3-5 years before it needs to be touched up or replaced.
There are both pros and cons to dental bonding. On the plus side, dental bonding is a relatively affordable cosmetic procedure. It is also quick and easy to do and doesn’t require any anaesthesia. Dental bonding can also be used to fix cosmetic issues with your teeth.
However, there are also some downsides to dental bonding. For one thing, the resins used in dental bonding are not as strong as natural tooth enamel. This means bonded teeth are more susceptible to chipping and breaking than natural teeth. Additionally, bonded teeth may discolour over time.
Finally, it’s important to note that not everyone is a good candidate for dental bonding. For example, if you have extensive damage to your teeth or if you have gum disease, then dental bonding may not be suitable for you.
OptiSmile uses the latest method of applying composite for bonding using 3D scans, digital smile design and injection moulding to create injection moulded composite veneers if multiple teeth require bonding. Learn more.
