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
When applied across front teeth, composite bonding addresses chips, slight unevenness, or small gaps in the visible smile zone, restoring a symmetrical smile line. Front teeth, particularly the upper and lower incisors, are highly visible when speaking and smiling. Composite bonding can help improve their shape, size and symmetry while maintaining a natural-looking appearance.<\/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
The term composite refers to a synthetic resin that matches the shade of natural teeth. Composite materials are aesthetically pleasing and can be chosen to blend with your surrounding smile. The procedure is called bonding because the material bonds directly to the tooth.<\/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
