Tooth bonding is a treatment performed by a cosmetic dentist during which a tooth-colored, composite, resin type material will be applied to a tooth with a flaw. The material will be sculpted into the correct, attractive shape, and then it will be hardened and polished. This treatment is called tooth bonding because the durable material used actually bonds (or adheres) to the tooth on which it is placed. Once hardened, tooth bonding will remain in place unless it is worn down or dislodged by a strong outside force, which rarely occurs.
Tooth bonding from a cosmetic dentist is an ideal solution for small cosmetic imperfections like a broken or chipped tooth. Tooth bonding can be used to make a short or small tooth look more even with the surrounding teeth. It is also great for use closing unsightly gaps between your teeth. Tooth bonding can be used as a tooth-colored filling to repair small cavities and protect a vulnerable tooth. Patients enjoy the natural-looking appearance of tooth bonding that blends in perfectly with the shade of their teeth.
Tooth bonding can last for more than 20 years when you care for your teeth correctly, and avoid putting fillings and restorations in danger by constantly eating hard and sticky foods. According to studies, tooth bonding stays the strongest for 10 years and does not become at risk for wearing or falling out until after that period.
One of the best advantages of tooth bonding, outside of the affordable price, is how quickly the treatment can be performed. A normal tooth bonding from a cosmetic dentist will take a 30- to 45-minute appointment. Directly after your appointment, you will see the beautiful improvements that were made. Very few, if any other, improvements from a cosmetic dentist take such a short visit and provide these immediate results.
