Dental Bonding Explained

Dental bonding, also known as tooth bonding, involves hardening a composite resin material to your teeth. This resin material improves the tooth's appearance and can also alter its shape. It can even protect the exposed root from receding gums.


Dental bonding is an excellent solution for those who wish to enhance their smile. Dental professionals often use it to change the tooth's shape, size or color. In some cases, dental bonding may be used as an alternative to amalgam or metallic fillings.


It is also essential to note that dental bonding is different from veneers and crowns. These treatments involve removing tooth enamel and applying veneers or crowns over the remaining tooth structure. Dental bonding can brighten your smile without removing any natural tooth enamel.

Dental Bonding Explained

Teeth bonding may be right for you if you have one or more of the following dental issues:

  • Teeth with minor chips and sharp edges
  • Discolored teeth
  • Unevenly shaped upper front teeth, such as peg laterals
  • Diastema or tooth gap

For more significant changes in tooth shape or color, porcelain veneers may be a more suitable option than bonded veneers. If you want better-looking teeth, talk to a dentist about whether dental bonding or veneers are ideal for your case.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF DENTAL BONDING?

Cosmetic dental bonding is a quick and simple procedure that can result in a brighter, more radiant smile. It is viable for people who want better-looking teeth without undergoing complex or lengthy procedures. Also, dental bonding is fast, relatively painless, and has several advantages over other aesthetic dental restorations. The benefits include:

  • 1. LESS INVASIVE THAN VENEERS AND CROWNS

    Although dental crowns and porcelain veneers need the removal of the enamel, dental bonding doesn't typically require it. You may need to reduce your tooth slightly to fit restorations, but it is not as invasive as other treatments.

  • 2. COST-EFFICIENT

    One of the most cost-effective cosmetic dental procedures is dental bonding. This procedure suits those who wish to enhance their smiles without breaking the bank. Dental bonding may be your solution if you want to repair chipped teeth and have a stunning smile.

  • 3. LOW-RISK

    Dental bonding is a safe and straightforward procedure with a low risk of complications. The restorations are applied to the tooth's surface instead of being inserted into the tooth itself, so they are reversible. Depending on your needs, you can expect minimal discomfort during the procedure, which usually takes 30 to 60 minutes per tooth. Overall, dental bonding is a convenient and low-risk option for improving the appearance of your teeth.

  • 4. FEWER APPOINTMENTS

    Dental bonding is a quick and easy procedure that can give you the desired results in a single appointment. The dentist will apply bonding material to the affected teeth, which will harden to provide long-lasting improvements. As a result, you won't have to make multiple appointments for dental bonding. In other words, it's an easy, efficient way of improving your smile.

PREPARING FOR THE DENTAL BONDING PROCEDURE

Before the procedure, your dentist will listen to your goals and examine your teeth and gums. They may also take X-rays to better understand your oral health. However, if you have severe tooth decay or gum disease, addressing them first is essential before dental bonding. Following these steps, your dentist can advise you on the best action.

THE DENTAL BONDING PROCESS: WHAT TO EXPECT


While preparing for dental bonding, your dentist chooses a tooth-colored composite resin that closely matches your natural teeth. During the procedure, your dentist will roughen your tooth and apply a liquid to help the bonding material stick. They will then shape the putty-like resin into the desired form and harden it with a bright light or laser. Once the material has set, your dentist will trim and shape it, then polish the filling.


Dental bonding typically takes 30-60 minutes per tooth, and the entire treatment can usually be completed in just one appointment. However, it is not always suitable for teeth under heavy bite pressure or for making significant cosmetic changes. 


Consult your dentist about the best approach based on your specific goals and needs.

CARING FOR BONDED TEETH


Practicing proper oral hygiene is crucial to maintaining the health and brightness of your teeth after dental bonding. You should brush your teeth twice daily with a soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste, and floss regularly between your teeth.


Avoid chewing on ice as much as possible. It is also necessary to visit the dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings. You can keep your mouth healthy and your newly bonded teeth looking their best by following these simple steps.
