What is Cosmetic Bonding?

What Is Cosmetic Bonding In Melton At Melton Dental House
Cosmetic bonding is a treatment in which durable, dental resin is moulded and then applied, or bonded to your teeth. It can be shaped to fill in cracks or chips in teeth, and even gaps in between teeth, and can often be completed in a single visit. It requires minimal tooth preparation so is less invasive than some other cosmetic dental solutions.

Thanks to the fewer office visits and materials used, cosmetic bonding is a preferred patient treatment due to a lower cost than other dental solutions to restore a smile. It is a versatile option that can address a number of dental problems including:

Chipped teeth
Misshapen teeth
Discoloured teeth
Cracked or fractured teeth
Teeth that have pieces broken off
Gaps between teeth
Teeth that are badly worn or too short
Protect the tooth or tooth root if gums recede
Can be used in place of amalgam to fill a cavity

Who Can Get Cosmetic Bonding?

Cosmetic bonding is a popular patient option to improve the appearance of teeth. It can also be used to fix mildly broken teeth and restore proper function in some cases. It is an alternative to dental veneers and dental implants, but may not be ideal to fix large dental problems. For example, it is not an option to whiten all of your teeth or fix many crooked teeth.

Cosmetic or dental bonding is best for those who have otherwise healthy teeth and is mainly used for adult patients, although in some cases may be beneficial for children’s minor dental issues. It is often used as a temporary fix for children whose teeth are still developing or to improve the appearance of one or two teeth for patients who are not quite ready for dental veneers.

The Cosmetic Bonding Process

 
Getting cosmetic bonding takes less time than many other dental treatments, even if you are fixing a tooth. Our skilled dental team will ensure you get a full dental exam complete with x-rays to ensure there are no hidden issues. Your dentist will discuss the procedure with you so there are no surprises, and if you have issues with dental anxiety, let us know so we can help. We offer solutions to help make dental visits as low stress as possible.

We know that each patient’s situation is unique, but there are some general steps that anyone can expect when getting dental bonding. Because the procedure requires no or minimal tooth preparation, an anesthetic is usually not needed. The following steps are what you can expect when you get cosmetic bonding with Melton Dental House:

If you are getting a composite filling with bonding material, an anesthetic may be applied before the treatment
Next, your dentist will use a shade guide to choose the best shade of resin to match the colour of the tooth being bonded
The dentist will then etch or abrade the tooth surface to ensure the bonding holds tightly
The tooth is coated with a conditioning liquid
The dental resin, or bonding, will be applied and then shaped and smoothed by the dentist
We will use a light or laser treatment to harden the bonding
A final check will be performed by your dentist, if more shaping is needed, it will be done at this time to ensure you get the most comfortable fit
The bonding will be polished until the proper sheen is met

Caring for Your Cosmetic Bonding

 
Teeth with cosmetic bonding should be taken care of with regular oral hygiene practices just like your other teeth. Because bonding is susceptible to staining and discolouration like your natural teeth, it is best to avoid coffee, tea, cigarette smoking, wine, and other foods and beverages that can stain for at least 48 hours after you receive the bonding. After the 48 hours, then regular daily oral care can be applied, such as:

Z
Brush your teeth at least twice daily
Z
Floss according to your dentist’s instructions
Z
Rinse with any recommended mouthwash
Z
Avoid eating ice as it may crack the bonding
Z
Avoid biting hard objects like pens or pencils to avoid cracking the bonding or your natural teeth
Z
Call your dentist right away if anything feels “off” with your bonding, such as a sharp edge or an uneven feeling, because although uncommon, if any issues arise, they can usually be fixed
