How Dental Bonding Works
Once the surface is prepared, the tooth-colored, putty-like composite material is applied, molded and shaped. Then, a special light or laser cures/hardens the material. After it hardens, your dentist may further trim and shape the material, then polish it to match the rest of the tooth surface.
Tooth Bonding: An Artistic Solution To Repair Various Problems
The process of tooth bonding can be compared to the process an artist uses in sculpting clay. Through the molding and shaping of dental composite resin, our dentists can fix a number of imperfections that stand between you and the perfect smile:
- Restore a chipped tooth
- Restore broken tooth
- Fill a gap between teeth
- Recolor your teeth
- Reshape your teeth
- Give a straighter appearance to crooked teeth
- Restore decaying teeth
Differences Between Dental Bonding and Porcelain Restorations
Teeth bonding is an effective and affordable treatment for minor repairs, but does not offer the same level of durability or support to surrounding tooth structure like porcelain restorations. For cases where the problem area is larger, needs to withstand more stress, or requires more exact shaping or shading, porcelain restorations are a better and longer-term solution.
