Dental Bonding
A small chip, uneven edge, or discoloured tooth may seem like a minor concern, but it can affect the way you smile every day. Luckily, not all cosmetic issues require complicated dental treatment. If you have ever thought about fixing a damaged tooth without grinding off too much of the tooth, here is what you should know about dental bonding. This conservative procedure makes your smile brighter while leaving healthy tooth tissues intact.
Our team at Bombay Dental Specialities uses composite resin of the appropriate colour to help you get a natural-looking smile.
Usually, dental bonding takes one visit. We examine the problem tooth and discuss your smile goals. Whether you are concerned about an uneven edge, gap, chipping, or discolouration, we decide whether dental bonding is suitable for you.
Then we select the colour of the composite resin that resembles your natural tooth shade. Afterwards, the surface of the tooth is slightly altered to make sure that the bonding material bonds firmly. One more great thing about bonding is that the procedure involves minimal tooth tissue removal in most cases.
We apply the composite resin layer by layer until we make the tooth look longer, smoother, and more symmetrical. When the necessary shape is reached, a special light cures the material, and we polish it to ensure its natural look and comfortable bite.
If we think that you need veneers or crowns for the best outcome, we discuss all available treatment options with you.
Dental bonding is an easy way to enhance your smile without undergoing complicated treatment. This procedure can fix minor chips and fractures, improve discolouration, cover small gaps, and provide better tooth shape and symmetry.
Since the material used in dental bonding is carefully selected to closely resemble your natural tooth shade, the restoration blends seamlessly with your smile. The procedure takes one visit to achieve the desired effect, so you get noticeable results without additional appointments. Thanks to minimal tooth preparation, bonding preserves healthy tooth structure while providing a natural look. With proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits, your restored teeth can serve you well for years.
Is dental bonding painful?
Dental bonding is painless. In most cases, anaesthesia is not required during this procedure unless you have cavities or work is being carried out close to the tooth nerve.
How long does dental bonding last?
Depending on your bite and habits, dental bonding lasts for several years. You should take care of your restored teeth and visit your dentist regularly to maintain their appearance.
Can bonded teeth be whitened?
No. Composite resin does not bleach. Therefore, if you want to whiten your teeth, you should complete the whitening treatment before dental bonding.
Can dental bonding repair a chipped tooth?
Yes. Dental bonding is often used to repair chipped areas, smooth rough edges, and improve the shape of the tooth.
