Dental bonding is a way to improve your smile by closing gaps between teeth without orthodontic treatment, repairing chips and cracks and fixing other minor cosmetic imperfections. This review highlights what dental bonding is, what the benefits of treatment are and when to consider dental bonding treatment to improve your smile.
No one should have to go through their daily life feeling insecure about the appearance of their smile. Dental bonding helps many patients regain their confidence after teeth damage occurs, allowing them to do the things that they love in life without feeling insecure when smiling and laughing.
Dental bonding, also called tooth bonding or composite resin bonding, is a dental procedure that uses a tooth-colored material known as a composite resin to fix minor cosmetic imperfections in the patient’s smile. Dental bonding is completed in-office and is non-invasive. The process involves applying the composite resin to the tooth (or teeth) and curing the composite resin with a special dental light. The dentist can mold it to any shape and will polish the tooth afterward to give it a natural appearance.
Dental bonding has many advantages that other primarily cosmetic treatment procedures do not. Notable benefits of dental bonding include:
When compared to dental veneers, an alternative option for fixing one's smile, dental bonding is more cost-effective. The procedure is also much faster (can be done in one dental visit) and does not require preparing the tooth nearly as much as for dental veneers.
Dental bonding is also a versatile treatment option that can treat many types of cosmetic issues. Notable problems that dental bonding can address include:
Teeth that are damaged while sleeping or during physical activity can be repaired through dental bonding treatment. This procedure can also treat issues of naturally short teeth, lengthening them to allow for an even smile that gives the patient more confidence.
The dental bonding treatment process typically includes cleaning the tooth, applying the composite resin material, hardening the composite resin with a dental light and polishing the tooth. The dentist can apply and smooth the composite resin as necessary to allow for a more beautiful smile that fixes imperfections. It only takes a single dental visit, and the procedure is pain free.
