Dental bonding is a procedure in which a tooth-coloured composite resin is applied to a tooth and sculpted into shape. The resin is then hardened with a special light, which ultimately bonds the material to the tooth to restore or improve a person’s smile. Bonding can be considered to repair decayed teeth, to repair chipped or cracked teeth, to improve the appearance of discoloured teeth, to close spaces between teeth, or to make teeth look longer.<\/p>\r\n
Lower front teeth, also known as lower anterior teeth, can develop chips, uneven edges or small areas of wear. Composite bonding can restore their shape and appearance by applying tooth-coloured resin to the affected areas. Since these teeth are relatively small and experience contact with the upper teeth during biting, careful shaping and bite assessment are important.<\/p>\r\n
Dental composite resins are types of synthetic resins that are used in dentistry as restorative material or adhesives. Synthetic resins evolved as restorative materials because they were insoluble, aesthetic, insensitive to dehydration, easy to manipulate and reasonably inexpensive. In most cases, direct dental composites are placed by the dentist in a clinical setting. The polymerization is accomplished typically with a hand-held curing light that emits specific wavelengths targeted to the initiator molecules.<\/p>\r\n
Composite bonding is a cosmetic technique wherein a type of dental resin is shaped and moulded on your teeth to give the appearance of a straighter, whiter smile. Bonding is usually completed in one visit and is less invasive than veneers or crowns. Because the dentist does not need to remove any of your natural tooth enamel, the procedure is completely reversible. If you decide in the future that you want to remove the bonding, your natural tooth will remain undamaged underneath. Most patients find the treatment painless and do not require any local anaesthetic.<\/p>\r\n
Tooth-coloured fillings have always been considered less long-lasting than silver amalgam fillings, but there are now new materials available with comparable longevity. The life expectancy of a composite filling can depend on where it is in the mouth and how heavily your teeth come together when you chew. Your dentist can advise you on how long your fillings should last. Composite materials are aesthetically pleasing and can be chosen to match the shade of your natural teeth. However, composite is more difficult and takes longer to place than amalgam.<\/p>\r\n
