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 enamel damage to seal micro-cracks, cover acid-eroded surfaces, protect exposed dentinal tubules, and eliminate sensitivity to cold foods and drinks. Sometimes, bonding is used as a protective shield, preventing further enamel loss 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 damaged enamel area to roughen it and clear microscopic debris. 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 over the damaged zones to create a uniform, sealed surface. 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 damaged enamel 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. Avoid brushing with overly stiff bristles or abrasive toothpastes that scratch the resin seal. Avoid biting hard objects like ice cubes or hard sweets to preserve the bonded enamel layer.
