What is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding, which is also called direct or cosmetic bonding, is made of composite resin. It’s the same material we use for fillings; we apply just enough to cover or fill in whatever your tooth needs to look whole, uniform, and brilliant. We sculpt this putty-like resin to the perfect shape and select a shade that appears natural. Then, using a special light source, we cure and polish the resin, making it hard and indistinguishable from the rest of your tooth.
Who is a Good Candidate for Cosmetic Dental Bonding?
Although we use composite resin for repairs, dental bonding is strictly used for cosmetic purposes. If you have any of the following issues, this option can correct your teeth:
- Small gaps between teeth.
- Cosmetic cracks in the enamel.
- Chipped teeth.
- Stains that don’t go away with whitening.
- Misshapen or small teeth.
Basically, as long as your teeth are healthy overall, we can consider using direct bonding to enhance their appearance, but the best way to know whether this option would work for you is to talk with us in person and allow us to examine your smile.
The Benefits of Dental Bonding
Although cosmetic bonding typically doesn’t last as long as veneers and aren’t quite as durable, it has several advantages over porcelain coverings, including:
- No permanent changes are made to your teeth with dental bonding.
- Dental bonding is usually finished in just one appointment.
- The cost of dental bonding is lower than that of veneers.
- You do not need local anesthetic to get dental bonding.
- With regular, proper maintenance, your bonding may go more than 5 years before needing replacement.
