What is Dental Bonding?
If you’ve ever gotten a tooth-colored dental filling, you have a good idea of the bonding procedure. The composite bonding material is the same tooth-colored resin we fill cavities with. The process is also quite similar, except that instead of treating cavities, we are reshaping teeth.
The bonding material is applied directly to the tooth surface, shaped, hardened, and then polished to a gorgeous sheen. The bonding procedure is completed in a single appointment, often taking less than an hour. Results typically last from three to ten years, possibly longer, with good oral hygiene.
What Bonding Can Do for Your Smile
Although usually considered a cosmetic dental procedure, tooth bonding can also repair some minor damage. It is one of the most versatile techniques available. Common uses include:
- Repairing small chips or fractures
- Closing spaces between teeth
- Covering stains and discolored areas that do not respond to teeth whitening
- Improving the shape of teeth
- Restoring worn down teeth, or lengthening those that are naturally short
Choose the Best Option for You
Tooth bonding for gaps or other cosmetic concerns is a conservative, noninvasive procedure, so virtually anyone is a potential candidate. However, depending on your goals and priorities, you may want to consider an alternative such as veneers. Dental porcelain has the advantage of being longer-lasting, and more stain-resistant. Composite resin bonding is faster and more economical.
