Dental bonding is an effective cosmetic dental procedure that repairs a decayed, chipped, worn, fractured, or discoloured tooth. A durable tooth-coloured plastic resin is applied to the affected tooth, and then hardened with a special LED light that works to ‘bond’ the material securely to the tooth. Once completed, dental bonding can improve or restore a person’s smile to what it once was.
Dental bonding is a simple and effective procedure that begins with your dentist first cleaning the area where the resin will be applied. Next, a resin that closely matches your natural tooth colour is applied layer by layer to the affected tooth and then molded to the shape of your tooth. The resin is then hardened with a special LED light. Once hardened, any required corrections are made to ensure that the tooth looks correct. The final step in the process involves polishing the tooth. It is important to note that resin can stain, and is most susceptible to staining within the first few hours following treatment. Consequently, it is important to avoid smoking, as well as drinking things like coffee, tea, or red wine immediately after your procedure.
If you have a chipped or cracked tooth, discolouration, or a gap you are interested in correcting, dental bonding might be right for you!
