Only a qualified dentist should perform it. The tooth must be a suitable candidate. The resin is applied a blue light cures it. The work is complete. In fact tooth bonding is one of the procedures you can have while sitting in a dental chair.<\/p>\n<h3>What Makes Tooth Bonding Safe?<\/h3>\n<p>The resin used in tooth bonding is designed to cling to enamel. Prior to application the dentist lightly scuffs the tooth surface to help the resin stick.<\/p>\n<p>After that the dentist shapes the resin cures it with a light and polishes it. It is a process. Most people do not need an injection unless the bonding is combined with a decay repair or the tooth requires more than a reshape.<\/p>\n<h3>Does Bonding Damage Your Teeth?<\/h3>\n<p>The first question many people ask about tooth bonding is whether it damages teeth. That is a question. However when tooth bonding is planned carefully a healthy tooth does not suffer damage.<\/p>\n<p>In fact I often recommend tooth bonding before considering veneers or crowns. The dentist adds material to the existing enamel of removing a large portion so more of the original tooth remains intact.<\/p>\n<h3>Are There Any Risks?<\/h3>\n<p>The main risk of tooth bonding is chip damage. This usually occurs in people who bite pens, nails or ice without thinking. Staining is another risk, around the edges after a few years. The resin does not react to whitening in the way enamel does so the shade may become slightly different from the surrounding teeth.<\/p>\n<p>Bite alignment also matters more than you might think. If the dentist does not check how your teeth meet after bonding the resin may experience pressure and a small repair can become painful. Nevertheless none of these risks make tooth bonding unsafe. The treatment simply needs to match the tooth and the patients habits.<\/p>\n<h3>What About Allergies?<\/h3>\n<p>Allergies to tooth bonding are rare. They can occur. If you have ever had a reaction to a dental material inform the dentist before the procedure.<\/p>\n<p>A good dentist will also assess whether tooth bonding is appropriate in the place. He or she will treat any decay or structural problems before applying resin. Covering a problem with resin masks it temporarily.<\/p>\n<h3>So Is Tooth Bonding Safe for You?<\/h3>\n<p>If your teeth and gums are healthy. The dentist believes tooth bonding is suitable then tooth bonding is safe for you. When the situation permits I would choose tooth bonding, over an invasive option.<\/p>\n<p>Visit our page on <a class=\"decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.envysmile.co.uk\/composite-bonding-london\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"536\" data-end=\"569\"><strong data-start=\"537\" data-end=\"565\">composite bonding London<\/strong><\/a> to explore treatment options, costs, and expert advice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes tooth bonding is safe.
