Dental Bonding

Dental Bonding is a dental procedure used to repair and improve your teeth’s look. The treatment is mostly used in cosmetic dentistry to enhance various elements of patients’ teeth appearance.

Preparation: The purpose of your therapy will decide how this step of the process is carried out. Most of the time, no anaesthesia or numbing is required. Colour matching is carried out here. Your cosmetic dentist rubs an acidic solution on your teeth. Your enamel becomes rougher after using the solution, making it more bondable.

Application: The composite resin is subsequently applied by your dentist, typically in the form of putty. The application process enables the dentist to form the resin to the proper shape for repairing your teeth.

Hardening: Laser light can be used to accelerate the hardening process. The composite material permanently attaches to your teeth as it becomes harder.

Finishing: This is the final step.  The tooth needs to be polished, and any extra composite must be taken out. The final step will make sure that the repaired tooth has the same shine and radiance as healthy teeth.

Dental bonding will prove helpful for your smile if you have any of the following dental issues:

Stained teeth: Dental discolouration can be significantly improved with dental bonding. To make your discoloured teeth match the colour of the rest of your teeth, composite resin might be used.

Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth: After dental bonding, you won’t even detect the structural flaws in your teeth. The resin is used to fill in the broken and chipped parts of your teeth making your teeth appear natural in look and functionality.

Spaces between teeth: Dental bonding can help fill small gaps between teeth when applied appropriately.

Dental decay: Oral cavities can be treated with dental bonding as a tooth filling. They are the ideal replacement for silver fillings.

Other applications include irregular teeth or unusually short teeth due to developmental deformities, enamel erosion, or other factors.

Dental bonding effects are not permanent. If you take good care of your dental bonding, the general rule is that it can endure between 5 and 10 years. Fortunately, dental bonding doesn’t require specialised care.

Simply remember to brush your teeth after meals, floss at least once daily, and schedule regular cleanings and check-ups at the dentist.
