Dental Bonding

• Tooth bonding or dental bonding uses a special
  tooth-colored resin which is applied to the tooth
  then hardened using a special light. This bonds
  the resin to the tooth either to restore it or to
  improve the appearance of the tooth.

Bonding to Repair Broken or Chipped Teeth

• Tooth bonding is used in several different ways,
  but is probably most useful for repairing chipped
  teeth. Bonding materials (high-density, modern
  plastics called composite resin) and porcelain
  are more natural in color and can be designed to
  perfectly match the surrounding teeth making it
  difficult to discern there ever was a broken
  tooth.

4
For what conditions is dental bonding considered?

• Dental bonding is an option that can be
  considered to
• Repair decayed teeth (composite resins are used
  to fill cavities)
• Repair chipped or cracked teeth
• Improve the appearance of discolored teeth
• Close spaces between teeth
• Make teeth look longer
• Change the shape of teeth
• Use as a cosmetic alternative to amalgam fillings
• Protect a portion of the tooth's root that has
  been exposed when gums recede

5
What is the procedure for having a tooth bonded?

• Preparation Little advance preparation is needed
  for dental bonding. Anesthesia is often not
  necessary unless the bonding is being used to
  fill a decayed tooth.
• The bonding process Next, the surface of the
  tooth will be roughened and a conditioning liquid
  applied. These procedures help the bonding
  material adhere to the tooth. The tooth-colored,
  putty-like resin is then applied, moulded, and
  smoothed to the desired shape. After the material
  is hardened, your dentist will further trim and
  shape it, and polish it to match the sheen of the
  rest of the tooth surface.
• Time to completion Dental bonding takes about 30
  to 60 minutes per tooth to complete.

6
What will happen at the initial consultation?

• During the consultation, participating cosmetic
  dentists will talk to you about the changes you
  would like to make in your appearance. They will
  explain the different options available to you,
  the procedure itself, and its risks and
  limitations.
• Participating cosmetic dentists will begin with a
  complete medical history and an examination of
  your teeth and gums. They may also take before
  photos and give you specific instructions on how
  to prepare for the procedure.
• Take this opportunity to ask all the questions
  you have about the procedure. Learning everything
  you can about your options, risks and benefits is
  the key to making an informed decision.

7
How long does it take?

• Bonding can be accomplished in one visit except
  in complicated cases. The length of the visit
  will depend on the condition of your teeth and on
  how much repair work you are having done.

8
Will I experience any pain?

• The procedure is virtually pain-free although you
  may experience some discomfort during the
  tooth-roughening phase.

9
What can I expect after dental bonding?

• You may experience some sensitivity in the
  treated tooth for several weeks after the
  procedure but this should diminish with time.
• It is important to practice good oral hygiene in
  order to maintain the results achieved by this
  procedure. Follow these steps to care for your
  teeth after bonding
• Slice hard foods like apples and carrots before
  eating them.
• Avoid chewing on hard objects like fingernails,
  pencils, or paperclips.

10

• Keep your teeth clean by brushing and flossing
  regularly.
• Use gentle toothpastes that are safe for bonded
  teeth. Ask your participating dentist for
  recommendations.
• Schedule regular professional cleanings by a
  participating dentist or dental hygienist.

11
What are the advantages of dental bonding?

• Cost The average cost of dental bonding ranges
  from 300 to 600 per tooth. But many dental
  insurance plans cover most of the cost of
  bonding, particularly when it is done for
  structural reasons or to fill a cavity, says
  Harms.
• Speed Dental bonding typically requires only one
  office visit. The entire process can be
  accomplished in 30 to 60 minutes per tooth.
• Ease Anesthesia is usually not necessary, unless
  bonding is being used to fill a decayed tooth.
  Compared to veneers and crowns, dental bonding
  also requires the least amount of enamel removal,
  explains Harms.

12
Disadvantages of dental bonding

• Bonding material can become stained. Unlike
  crowns and porcelain veneers, dental bonding has
  a tendency to become discolored over time.
  Coffee, tea, red wine, and cigarette smoke can
  stain the material used in dental bonding, making
  it stand out from the rest of your teeth, says
  Harms. To minimize staining, youll need to avoid
  these substances for 24 to 48 hours after bonding
  is first performed.
• Less durable. Additionally, the material used in
  dental bonding isnt as strong and long-lasting
  as porcelain veneers and crowns. It can easily
  chip. With proper care though, dental bonding can
  last three to seven years.

13
How do I choose an appropriate dentist?

• It is very important that you select a dentist
  adequately trained and experienced in this
  procedure. We strongly recommend that you
  consider choosing a participating cosmetic
  dentist. Participating dentists are general and
  cosmetic dentists who are well trained and
  experienced in dental bonding.

14
What does dental bonding cost?

• Dental bonding is a relatively inexpensive way to
  repair damaged teeth and make them look like
  new. Cost can range from 100 to 300 per
  tooth, and many insurance plans cover the cost.
