What is bonding?
We can close spaces between teeth, lengthen small or misshaped teeth or whiten dark or stained teeth. When teeth are chipped or begin to wear, bonding can protect them from damage, restore them to their original looks. Bonding is a one appointment procedure. The tooth is roughened and a conditioning gel is applied. Then a bonding material called resin is applied and sculpted to the desired shape and hardened with a safe high intensity light. Once is place, a bonded restoration is very strong. The final result is beautiful and natural looking teeth. Tooth whitening Tooth whitening is an easy way to have a dazzling white smile. New whitening techniques makes it easier to have a brighter and more beautiful smile. The process is safe and fast. You can have a new white smile is just over an hour. White coloured restoration Silver fillings used to be your only choice, especially for back teeth. Today, we can replace silver fillings and create a more natural look using porcelain or resin.
In bonding, the white composite material that is used for filling cavities in front teeth is layered onto the front of teeth for cosmetic purposes . The results look great initially, however, the technique is not very permanent, and must be redone periodically. This technique has now been replaced by porcelain laminates in adults. It is still used in children since no tooth enamel must be removed allowing for flexibility in future cosmetic decisions. Bonding is also used to repair fractured teeth when the dentist does not recommend a crown (cap). Click on the links below to view some examples of bonding.
Advances in dental materials have given us a new approach to broken, strained, or discolored front teeth. In a relatively simple procedure, a composite resin or porcelain material is added directly to the roughened enamel surface of the tooth. Often no anesthetic is required. Bonding can be used to close gaps or spaces between teeth or to make crowded teeth appear straight. Cosmetic dentistry can have an impact on a person’s smile that is like magic.
Bonding is a procedure that uses tooth-colored dental resins and composites to change the shape and color of your teeth as well as to close gaps. Bonding can also be instrumental in repairing chipped or broken teeth, as well as in covering up unattractive stains. Because direct bonding only requires a little bit of tooth reduction, it is a very conservative procedure, unlike the other treatment options such as crowns or caps.
