Decay, fragmented, crack and discolored tooth can be fixed through applying tooth-colored composite resin known as tooth bonding.
This can be done in one visit to the dentist.
It is called bonding because the material is attached to the tooth.
Purpose Tooth Bonding Among the cosmetic dental procedures, bonding is the simplest and cheapest of all.
In order to complement the neighboring teeth, composite resin bond is used for outlining and enhancement.
The function of cosmetic dental procedures is most especially related to beautifying and fixing the outer look of discolored or fragmented tooth.
It is also helpful in sealing gaps between the teeth, makes teeth appear elongated or changing the shape and color of the teeth.
Another use of bonding is a substitute to amalgam fillings, or guard the tooth roots that has been revealed after the gums retract.
Preparation No special preparation is needed with bonding.
Anesthesia is only required when bonding is done to fill in a decayed tooth.
Procedure Using a color guide, the dentist will pick the composite resin color that is most likely similar to the tooth.
After choosing the color, the dentist will gently scrape the surface to make it coarse.
A conditioning liquid will then cover the tooth to make the bond material stick on the tooth.
Once the tooth is prepared, the tooth-like colored pasty resin will be applied by the dentist.
The resin is being shaped and curved until the right form is achieved.
The tooth bond is toughened by a laser or an ultraviolet light.
When the bond is already strong, the dentist will tidy and outline it further.
Refinement of the bond will be done till it is comparable to the brightness of other teeth surface.
The procedure is completed after 30 minutes or an hour, but if you are having more than 1 tooth to bond, make several appointments.
Substances like coffee, tea, cigarette, and other are capable of staining the resin.
It is important to refrain from eating food or drinking beverages that can stain within 48 hours of composite procedure.
Furthermore, brush the teeth and on a regular basis visit a dental hygienist for tooth cleaning.
Warning However, composite bonding resin is not strong like the natural tooth.
There's a chance of breaking it with fingernail biting or ice and pens grinding.
It takes a number of years before the bond will require repairs.
Its shelf-life also depends on the bonding done and the oral caring process made.
Take Note When pointed sides are observed after tooth bonding, or when it feels awkward and the bond breaks, consult the dentist.
