Tooth bonding is one of those treatments that sounds more complicated than it really is. A dentist puts tooth-colored resin on the tooth shapes it and hardens it with a light. The whole process is pretty simple.. For small changes in appearance that simplicity is a big plus.
It Can Fix Problems
Do you have a chipped front tooth? A small space between teeth? A tooth that looks a little different from the others? Bonding is perfect for these issues. Your dentist can put resin where its needed and shape it so the tooth looks better.
The change can be very noticeable without making your smile look like it was done. That’s one thing I like about bonding. When its done right you stop noticing the repaired tooth because it looks like your other teeth.
A Natural-Looking Smile
• Small chips, especially on front teeth where the edge catches your eye every time you look in the mirror.
• Small spaces between teeth can be made obvious although bigger gaps might need a different treatment.
• different tooth shapes. A little extra resin can change the shape without taking much of the real tooth.
It Usually Takes Less Time
One of the benefits is how fast the appointment can be. For a fix bonding is often done in one visit instead of needing many visits for a more complicated repair.
Because the dentist is adding material instead of taking away a lot of healthy tooth the process is usually more gentle. That’s important. I would not go for a dental treatment when a simple fix works.
It Can Be Expensive
Bonding is often cheaper than other cosmetic dental treatments especially when fixing a small area. The final cost still depends on how work you need and where you live so your dentist will need to tell you the exact price.
So Is Tooth Bonding Worth Thinking About?
If you have a chip, a little space, between teeth or a tooth shape that worries you bonding makes a lot of sense. It can improve the look without turning a problem into a big dental job.
