Bondings

A cosmetic dental procedure that heals fractures, corrects cracks, and chips reshape the size and shape of teeth and restore its color is termed as bonding. Bonding requires no prior work and can be easily performed on the patient’s teeth.

Bonding must not be confused with dental veneers. Dental veneers can be custom fabricated in labs based on specific needs and serve an entirely different purpose.

The cosmetic procedure involves applying a composite resin over the affected areas of teeth and can be shaped correctly on the spot. It covers any signs of damage and takes minimum chair time from the patient. Bonding not only restores the appearance of misshapen teeth but also covers unwanted gaps rectifying any issues in alignment.

An added advantage to this time saving cosmetic procedure is that it takes no prior preparation for teeth and requires no anesthesia. Before the procedure, the dentist would carefully examine the oral cavity and estimate the amount of resin that’d be required to complete the dental procedure. The resin would be selected that’d closely match the color of the patient’s teeth. Next, the teeth would be slightly abraded to allow proper bonding. Then, a conditioning liquid is carefully applied over the teeth’s surface to enhance its strength. Later, the resin would be applied, and a UV light would be spread over it to shape the teeth to perfection and restore the smile.
