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 molars to repair deep chewing surface cavities, replace worn silver fillings, or rebuild broken cusp corners on back chewing teeth. Sometimes, bonding is used as a conservative alternative to full crowns, preserving healthy natural tooth structure.<\/p>\r\n
Your dentist will use a shade guide to select the composite resin colour that matches the colour of your molar best. Once the dentist has chosen the colour and gently removed any decay, he or she will slightly etch the molar cavity walls to roughen the surface. 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 high-strength, tooth-coloured, putty-like resin in dense increments. The resin is moulded and smoothed into the molar grooves to replicate natural chewing cusps. Then the material is hardened with an ultraviolet light or laser. After the bonding material hardens, your dentist will check your chewing bite, trimming and shaping the cusps. 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 molars 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 molars endure heavy vertical chewing pressures exceeding one hundred pounds, avoid chewing on hard ice cubes or unpopped popcorn kernels. Tea, coffee, and tobacco can stain resin margins over time; have your teeth cleaned regularly by a dental hygienist at Envy Smile Dental. Floss daily between your molars to keep the bonded margins healthy and free of decay.
