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 restorative dental procedures. The composite resin used in bonding can be shaped and polished to match the surrounding teeth. Most often, bonding is used for premolars (bicuspids) to restore decayed chewing surfaces, repair fractured cusps, or fill wedge-shaped notches (abfraction lesions) along the gumline. Sometimes, bonding is used as a cosmetic alternative to silver amalgam fillings on teeth visible when smiling.<\/p>\r\n
Your dentist will use a shade guide to select the composite resin colour that matches the colour of your premolar best. Once the dentist has chosen the colour and prepared the tooth surface, he or she will slightly etch the enamel and dentine to roughen the area. 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 in thin increments. The resin is molded and smoothed into the cusps and grooves to recreate natural chewing anatomy. Then the material is hardened with an ultraviolet light or laser. After the bonding material hardens, your dentist will further trim and shape it to ensure proper bite clearance. 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 premolars 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. Premolars experience moderate crushing and chewing forces, so avoid crunching on hard ice or hard sweets. Tea, coffee, and tobacco can cause slight margin staining over time; have your teeth cleaned regularly by a dental hygienist at Envy Smile Dental. Brush twice daily and floss between teeth every day to protect the bonded premolar margins.
