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 peg lateral teeth to transform undersized, pointy lateral incisors into beautifully proportioned adult teeth. Sometimes, bonding is used as a conservative alternative to porcelain veneers, preserving valuable enamel on teeth that are already unusually small.<\/p>\r\n
Your dentist will use a shade guide to select the composite resin colour that matches the colour of your central incisors best. Once the colour is selected, your dentist will slightly etch the entire circumference of the peg lateral 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 around the narrow flanks and incisal edge until the peg tooth matches the size and shape of a normal lateral incisor. 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 peg lateral 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. Because peg laterals retain a full outer ring of enamel, composite adhesion is exceptionally secure. Tea, coffee, cigarette smoke and other substances can stain resin margins over time; regular dental hygienist visits at Envy Smile Dental keep them clean. Avoid biting fingernails, chewing ice, or opening plastic packaging with front teeth.
