Composite bonding is one of the many treatments that might be used as part of your smile makeover. The procedure is often used to fix cosmetic problems such as discolored, cracked or chipped teeth. Dental bonding involves applying composite resin to the affected tooth to restore or improve its appearance.
Composite bonding is a versatile treatment that can be used to address a variety of dental problems, and it is also one of the more affordable treatments used during smile makeovers. Composite bonding provides immediate results, so the patient walks out of the dentist's clinic with a restored smile.
The appearance of your teeth is one of the first things people notice when you interact with them. Not being pleased with the appearance of your teeth can make you more self-conscious and lower your confidence. Composite bonding provides a quick way to fix any problems that are ruining the aesthetics of your smile.
The process starts with a consultation with a dentist to make sure composite bonding is the right way to go. Certain issues like a severely broken tooth can be fixed with more permanent oral restorations like a crown. The dentist will educate the patient about all their options before proceeding with the composite bonding.
The treatment can be performed once the evaluation is complete. The dentist will color match the composite resin used so it blends in with the rest of the patient's teeth. In most cases, the dentist will not administer any anesthetic, unless the patient is getting a cavity restored.
The dentist will prepare the tooth for the composite resin by roughening it with an etching solution. This allows for a better bond between the tooth and composite resin. The dentist will then apply the putty-like resin directly to the tooth. The material is shaped as desired, then it is hardened with ultraviolet light. The dentist will finish up the treatment by polishing the tooth.
Issues composite bonding can be used to fix include:
