The Benefits of Cosmetic Dental Bonding
Cosmetic bonding is an excellent choice for many patients due to its numerous advantages:
- Versatility: Effective in correcting chipped teeth, gaps, or changing the shape of teeth.
- Affordability: More cost-effective compared to crowns and veneers.
- Immediate Results: The procedure is completed in just one office visit.
- Minimal Tooth Alteration: Unlike other treatments, bonding typically requires less alteration of your natural tooth.
- Aesthetic Improvement: Corrects rough edges, fills gaps, repairs chips, and can protect teeth from receding gums.
The Tooth Bonding Procedure
Here’s what you can expect during a cosmetic bonding procedure at Tolland Hill Family Dental:
- Color Matching: We use a shade guide to select a composite resin that closely matches your natural teeth.
- Tooth Cleaning: Your tooth is thoroughly cleaned and polished to ensure a strong bond.
- Tooth Preparation: Depending on the case, minimal tooth shaping may be required.
- Etching and Bonding: An acidic conditioner is applied to etch the tooth, followed by a bonding agent.
- Composite Application: The selected composite resin is then applied, shaped, and hardened using a curing light.
- Finishing Touches: Finally, your tooth and the composite are polished to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Cosmetic Bonding for Children and Teens
Cosmetic bonding is not just for adults. It’s also an appropriate and effective solution for children and teenagers, particularly in cases of chipped or broken teeth due to active lifestyles.
Cosmetic Bonding and Contouring
Often performed alongside cosmetic bonding, dental contouring involves smoothing and reshaping the teeth for a polished, even appearance. This gentle procedure can be done in conjunction with bonding or as a standalone treatment.
