Dental Bonding It's no fun to have a tooth that has become damaged in some way. However, when dental bonding is accomplished, you can feel confident once again because your smile has been restored.By using a composite bonding, your dentist at The Smile Suite at Towne Square will be able to apply a resin that matches the color of your tooth so that the tooth is restored. Dental bonding is also a quicker, easier, and less expensive way to repair a tooth than some other methods. Why Teeth BondingUsing a bonding method is able to repair many tooth problems such as defects and other abnormalities. Sometimes dental bonding may be used to fix a tooth that has been affected by discoloration, decay, or a crack. Using dental bonding can also fill a gap between the teeth. If you want your teeth to appear larger, dental bonding would be a perfect application to use. A good example would be when one tooth is shorter than the others. The application of dental bonding allows their height to be equal. Dental bonding should not take long than an hour. However, your appointment may require more time if there is a significant amount of dental bonding required, or bonding on more than one tooth. Risks with Teeth BondingAs far as risks are concerned, there are typically no risks associated with dental bonding. However, you need to remember that the bonding does not provide the same strength as your natural teeth. Over time, you may experience chipping of the bonding material. You can expect chipping to take place if hard items are eaten or chewed on. With that, you should stay away from hard items. You may also want to stay away from items that cause staining such as coffee, wine, or smoking. Preparing for Your Dental BondingAlthough preparation is not required for dental bonding to take place, you will need to ensure that your first speak with our dentist about the procedure. This way you will know for certain if dental bonding would benefit you and whatever situation you have going on with your tooth. If dental bonding is not right for you, it could be due to the amount of decay being too great to repair. If this is the case, our dental will recommend appropriate treatment for your tooth. Caring for Your Dental BondingBy maintaining your oral health, your dental bond will last for a long time. This will require you to brush your teeth at least twice daily, and have regular dental appointments with us to ensure you remain in good oral health. Due to the possibility of tooth chips, you should stay away from hard items. This will allow your bond to last longer. Your dental bond will also stay brighter when you stay away from items that cause staining, such as smoking, tea, and coffee. You should make an appointment if a chip occurs within the bonding material. Your dentist at The Smile Suite at Towne Square will ensure that the bonding is repaired and that no sharp edges exist.
