What Is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that enhances or improves your teeth. The process, which is sometimes known as composite bonding, uses a tooth-colored material made of resin to change issues with teeth. Dental bonding can change the shape, size, and color of a tooth.
Dental bonding is one of the most common dentistry procedures. There are multiple situations that could call for dental bonding. For instance, bonding may be used to:
- Cover up chips and cracks in a tooth
- Repair gaps or spaces between teeth
- Change the shape of teeth
- Conceal stains or discoloration
The resin material used in dental bonding is the same material used to fill cavities, but the process is slightly different. When repairing a cavity, the dentist will first have to remove the impacted area of the tooth and then fill the hole left behind.
Dental bonding, on the other hand, mainly involves adding material to reshape or camouflage issues with your teeth. While you may need your tooth polished first, it is generally a less intense process.
Advantages of Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a great cosmetic dentistry treatment with many benefits. There are several reasons to consider dental bonding to treat minor tooth issues. Many patients choose dental bonding because the treatment is:
- Affordable: When compared to other cosmetic treatments, dental bonding is very cost-effective, while still offering stunning results.
- Efficient and convenient: Some cosmetic dentistry procedures require many visits to the office, but dental bonding only requires one visit that rarely lasts longer than 30 minutes to an hour.
- Non-invasive: With dental bonding, the dentist doesn’t have to remove any tooth enamel. Instead, the process involves adding material to fix minor issues, so it is a minimally invasive, comfortable treatment.
- Flexible and versatile: Dental bonding can address many different cosmetic issues such as chips, cracks, and gaps, making it a viable option for many patients and their unique dental needs.
