Bonding is a process in which an enamel-like material is applied to a tooth’s surface, sculpted to an ideal shape, hardened, and then polished for an ideal smile. This procedure usually can be accomplished in a single visit.
Bonding is the application of tooth-colored composite resin to enhance the appearance of your smile.
It can be used:
First, the doctor will choose a shade of composite resin that will match and enhance your smile. Then the composite resin will be applied and sculpted over your tooth. After the resin has been applied, an LED light is used to harden the resin. It will then be polished. Results are achieved immediately and can subtly or drastically change the appearance of your smile. Bonding is a safe, affordable and aesthetically pleasing solution for many dental problems.
If you want to reshape your smile, our dentist may recommend dental bonding. Dental bonding is used on sharp or misshapen teeth to create a more uniform appearance for your smile.
Dental bonding is a simple, conservative way to improve the appearance of your smile. During the bonding process, our skilled dentist and team place a composite resin material directly onto the tooth structure. Because the resin is malleable and puttylike when first applied, we can shape and sculpt it to fit your tooth and correct flaws in the tooth’s appearance. The composite resin is then hardened, trimmed and polished to provide a lasting, aesthetic restoration for your smile. Dental bonding typically requires just one visit to our welcoming dental office, and because this treatment usually necessitates little to no tooth preparation, you can rest assured that your visit will be quick and comfortable.
Our dentist may recommend dental bonding in order to close gaps and spaces between teeth, improve misshapen teeth, lighten stained or discolored teeth, or restore chipped or cracked teeth. We will use a shade of composite resin that matches the original color of your teeth for a natural-looking effect. If you would prefer, we can use a slightly lighter shade to whiten the color of your teeth.
Dental bonding is a durable and long-lasting solution for enhancing your smile, typically lasting between 3 to 10 years, depending on your oral habits and the location of the bonding. To maintain your dental bonding and extend its lifespan, follow these tips:
Practice Good Oral Hygiene: Brush twice a day and floss daily to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
Avoid Hard Foods: Chewing on hard objects like ice or pens can damage the bonding material.
Limit Staining Foods and Drinks: Foods and beverages like coffee, tea, red wine, and berries can stain the resin material over time. Try to consume these in moderation and rinse your mouth with water afterward.
Regular Dental Check-Ups: Visit us at Cambridge Dentistry for routine cleanings and examinations. We can check the condition of your dental bonding and perform any necessary touch-ups.
Yes, dental bonding can be an excellent option for children and teenagers who need minor cosmetic improvements or repairs to their teeth. It is a minimally invasive procedure that can effectively address issues like chipped or cracked teeth, gaps, and discoloration. The benefits of dental bonding for younger patients include:
Non-Permanent Solution: Unlike some other dental treatments, dental bonding can be easily adjusted or replaced as your child’s teeth grow and change.
Quick and Painless: The procedure is typically quick and painless, making it a comfortable option for young patients.
Natural Appearance: The resin material used in dental bonding can be perfectly matched to the natural color of your child’s teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking result.
