Dental Bonding Why Should You Get It?
2
  • Having a chipped tooth or a broken tooth not only
    look bad, they can cause discomfort and, if left
    unrepaired, can led to severe oral health
    problems.
  • Dental problems such as broken tooth, chipped or
    fractured tooth or extracted tooth need to be
    restored at the earliest.
  • Dental bonding is one of the most common and
    affordable dental restoration method.
  • This treatment has many advantages, but it also
    comes with certain limitations. So, if you are
    considering getting this treatment, you should
    weigh the pros and cons thoroughly before making
    a decision. But first, you need to understand
    what dental bonding is.

What is dental bonding?
Dental bonding is the application of
tooth-colored composite resin to repair a
decayed, damaged, broken, fractured or
discolored tooth. It makes teeth look longer and
is a popular alternative to amalgam filling. It
involves the process called osseointegration,
where composite resin is chemically bonded with
the natural tooth.
4
When is Bonding Used?
  • Dental bonding is a dental restorative treatment
    option that can be considered for the following
    conditions
  • To repair a decayed tooth
  • To make teeth longer
  • To change the shape of a tooth
  • To fix a chipped or cracked tooth
  • To fix the appearance of a discolored
    tooth/teeth
  • To bond the gap between teeth
  • To conceal exposed tooth roots

Dental Bonding Procedure
  • In this treatment process, an affected tooth is
    filed down to achieve a desired shape. Then the
    surface of the tooth is made rough so that the
    bonding process becomes more effective. The
    roughened surface is then filled with composite
    resin to obtain the original shape of the natural
    tooth. A special curing light is passed through
    the resin, which triggers a chemical reaction
    between the tooth surface and the resin. This
    allows them to bond completely. The final step
    involves trimming off excessive resins to make
    sure that the tooth feels and functions exactly
    like a real tooth.

Caring for Bonded Teeth
  • Bonded teeth require the same amount of care your
    natural teeth need. You can practice your usual
    oral care routine like brushing at least twice a
    day and flossing to maintain a your overall oral
    health. Timely dental visits and routine
    check-ups are recommended to ensure clean and
    healthy teeth. Since the material used for
    bonding can chip, try to stay away from biting
    hard objects. If you have a habit of biting your
    fingernails, chewing on pens, or other hard food
    objects, you need to keep them in check. In case
    your bonded tooth feels differently than when you
    had the treatment, it is quite possible that you
    have a chipped bond. In such situation, see your
    dentist as soon as possible. If you want to know
    more about dental bonding, there are many
    experienced dentist in Middle Village who

Benefits of Dental Bonding
  1. The bonding material can be made to match the
    original color of your teeth, ensuring a subtle
    and esthetically pleasing effect.
  2. It is relatively inexpensive in comparison to
    other restoration treatments. The cost of dental
    bonding is also covered in many insurance
    policies.
  3. The dental bonding procedure doesn't take time (1
    2 hours). Therefore, the bonding process can be
    completed in one single sitting.
  4. It is generally painless and hardly requires
    anesthetics, except in situations where the
    cavity is too deep and needs cleansing.
  5. The procedure is not invasive in nature and it
    does not involve any kind of cutting or slicing.
  6. Dental bonding preserve healthy tooth material.
    In this matter, it is better than crowns and
    veneers, which involves trimming or removal of
    some portion of tooth enamel.

Limitations of Dental Bonding
  • Unlike porcelain and crowns, composite resin
    cannot resist stains.
  • Since dental bonding is used on small tooth
    surfaces, it can easily crack if you exert too
    much pressure or force on the bonded tooth.
  • There is a small chance where the entire bond can
    fall off as a result of trauma, impact and
    forceful biting.
  • Dental bonding is suitable for small tooth
    surfaces. The bond can easily crack or deform if
    used on large surfaces.
