Unlike veneers and crowns, which are customized tooth coverings manufactured in a laboratory, bonding can usually be done in a single visit at Envy Smile Dental. The procedure gets its name because materials are bonded to the tooth. Composite bonding is among the easiest and least invasive of cosmetic dental procedures. The composite resin used in bonding can be shaped and polished to match the surrounding teeth. Most often, bonding is used for yellow teeth to cover deep natural yellowing, conceal exposed dentine, or change the colour of teeth when bleaching gels cause sharp sensitivity. Sometimes, bonding is used as a cosmetic alternative to amalgam or ceramic restorations, protecting healthy tooth enamel without drilling.<\/p>\r\n
Your dentist will use a shade guide to select the composite resin colour that matches the colour of your tooth best. Once the dentist has chosen the colour, he or she will slightly etch the surface of the yellow tooth to roughen it. The tooth will be coated lightly with a conditioning liquid, which helps the bonding material adhere. When the tooth is prepared, your dentist will apply the tooth-coloured, putty-like resin. The resin is moulded and smoothed across the front enamel until the yellow shade is completely masked with a natural white finish. Then the material is hardened with an ultraviolet light or laser. After the bonding material hardens, your dentist will further trim and shape it. Next, he or she will polish the material until it matches the sheen of the rest of the tooth surface.<\/p>\r\n
The lifespan of bonding materials on yellow teeth depends on how much bonding was done and your oral habits. Typically, bonding materials last from 5 to about 8 years before needing to be touched up or replaced. Tea, coffee, cigarette smoke and other substances can stain the resin used in bonding. To prevent or minimize stains, have your teeth cleaned regularly by a dental hygienist at Envy Smile Dental. Because bonding material can chip, it is important to avoid habits such as biting fingernails, chewing on pens or ice, or using your bonded teeth as tools to tear open packets. If you notice any sharp edges on a bonded tooth, call your dentist.
