All About Dental Bonding

By:


Have you ever seen someone smile and are greeted with a mouthful of silver? Right away we might begin to make assumptions. Did this person eat a lot of junk food as a child? Did they forget to brush their teeth? Is it weak enamel they are suffering from? Cavities and damaged teeth can be very embarrassing, especially when they are repaired with silver fillings.

Traditionally silver fillings are used to repair teeth that experienced minor damage and/or decay. This is an aesthetic nightmare with gleaming silver peering out of mouth. In addition, silver does not bond directly to the teeth. As a result, dentists often have to remove some of the healthy enamel to attach the silver bond. Nobody wants to be known as the person with an unhealthy smile. So what can you do to repair your teeth without the glare of silver?

Dental bonding is a simple, natural looking option for repairing slightly cracked or damaged teeth. This painless procedure is the ideal, fairly inexpensive cosmetic solution for individuals with minimal damage to their teeth. Teeth bonding can also be used to fill in gaps, to repair tooth decay and for other minor dental repairs.

How does Bonding Work?

Dental bonding uses a white paste made of resin and coats the damaged area of the tooth. The resin is colored to match the exact shade of your current teeth, naturally blending into your smile. This flexible material can not only be applied to cavities but can be molded and shaped to fill in missing areas of your tooth. Once applied, the material is hardened to the original tooth using a special light.

There are several advantages to dental bonding including:

*Fairly painless, requiring little or no anesthetic
*Quick to apply: several teeth can be done at one visit
*Matches the exact shade of your teeth
*Can be used on both children and adults
*Less expensive than crowns or veneers
*Perfect to repair minor stains and whiten your smile

Teeth Bonding is the ideal solution for someone who is looking to brighten their smile quickly and with minimal cost. This technique is a great self-esteem enhancer and can be used to fix those minor dental problems that have been aggravating you. However; most dental bonding will need to be replaced within ten years. If you are seeking a more permanent solution, crowns or veneers may be a better option.
