Teeth bonding is a procedure in which a tooth-colored resin material (a durable plastic material) is applied and hardened with a special light, which ultimately “bonds” the material to the tooth to restore or improve a person’s smile.
Teeth bonding is an option that can be considered:
Tooth bonding is best for teeth that suffered minor injuries and aren’t severely decayed.
If you lost a tooth (or most of a tooth) or the tooth is severely damaged, you may favour a dental implant over bonding. Dental implants replace the tooth and root entirely with an implant and a porcelain crown.
Additionally, tooth bonding is best for people who are already happy with the color of their teeth. If you have always wanted to whiten your tooth, you need to do it before you ask for the dentist, for teeth bonding. Your dentist chooses a bond similar to the color of your natural teeth, and if you whiten your teeth later, then your natural enamel will get lighter, but your bond won’t change color
There are two main types of dental bonding procedures: adhesive bonding and direct composite bonding.
Adhesive bonding:
This procedure involves using an etchant — a type of acid or corrosive chemical — as well as an adhesive and a curing light to attach a restoration to the damaged tooth. This procedure is best used for fillings, porcelain veneers, crowns that do not contain any metal.
Direct composite bonding:
This is the most common dental bonding procedure. The dentist creates a composite resin that matches the color of your teeth, molds it to fit your teeth, then applies it using a bonding agent. The resin is then cured using a UV light, and the bonded tooth can then be further shaped after it hardens.
Myth 1
Dental bonding can certainly cover up a variety of problems, fill spaces, or extend a tooth – however, it will not last very long so it might not be worth it.
Myth 2
Just like any cosmetic dentistry treatment, dental bonding may require a sizable investment.
Myth 3
You will need to see us quite often to achieve the finished product with bonding.
Myth 4
After you receive dental bonding, your smile is going to feel very different to your tongue and lips – this is not something that will change. However, the sacrifice is worthwhile.
Myth 5
f you want to whiten your smile, dental bonding is probably the best way to cover up serious staining.
Nothing is as strong as your natural teeth and enamel, including the composite resin.
So, while your bond repairs the tooth, you still need to take good care of it.
You should avoid doing things like chewing on ice cubes or pens. Hard foods and candies (in excess) can also cause damage to your bond. However, these aren’t good for your natural teeth either, so it’s best to avoid them generally, especially with a history of chipping or breaking teeth.
It’s also important to note that resin doesn’t resist long-term stains as well as your enamel. You’re more likely to experience long-term discoloration if you drink lots of coffee and red wine or if you smoke.
Unfortunately, you can’t whiten composite resin. So, if you stain your bond, then you might be stuck with it unless you replace it or choose to go the veneer route.
You can get your teeth whitened with a bond. Whitening gels won’t harm the composite resin, but you will see a disparity in color as your tooth’s appearance changes, but your bond stays the same.
However, your dentist may be able to offer a very thin bond on your front teeth, depending on the manufacturer of your bonding material.
