Aesthetic Bonding
Restore that beautiful smile of yours from the chipped or discoloured teeth to the gaps in your teeth.
What is Atheistic Bonding?
Bonding is commonly used to repair chipped or discoloured teeth, but it can also be used to fill gaps between teeth. The main benefit of aesthetic dental bonding is that it is a less expensive alternative to porcelain veneers and crowns. Aesthetic bonding is a quick, painless procedure that can be completed in a single visit and requires no anesthetic. Unlike dental veneers, it requires very little enamel removal, so your tooth structure is preserved.
What are the benefits?
For those who want to improve their smile without turning to more expensive cosmetic operations, aesthetic bonding is becoming a more and more common choice. It typically does not require the removal of any viable tooth tissue, unlike more invasive procedures like crowns or veneers, and it can occasionally be finished in only one appointment.
Completed in 5 Steps
Composite bonding is an excellent treatment for minor flaws in the front teeth. The procedure is as follows in 5 simple steps:
Your dentist first picks a shade to go with the natural tooth. Prior to the bonding surgery, some patients elect to have tooth whitening procedures so that the composite resin may be matched to the new, whiter hue.
After that, your dentist then prepares the teeth’s surface, ready for the treatment.
After preparing your teeth will then be coated with a liquid that aids in the proper adhesion of the composite resin material.
The resin is then applied and moulded before being hardened, shaped, and polished.
After the treatment your denttist will advise you on how you can take care of your new and improved teeth by maintaining good oral hygiene, brushing teeth with fluoride toothpaste for at least two minutes, and flossing between the teeth twice daily.
The bonded teeth may need professional polishing from time to time to maintain their shine and remove surface staining, so visit our team at 436 Dental to get this done.
