What is cosmetic bonding?
Cosmetic bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure, which aims to improve the look of your smile by using dental composite to repair and re-shape the teeth. This treatment is an ideal solution for patients who have aesthetic flaws, such as chipped and worn teeth, small gaps between the teeth and uneven, jagged edges. Bonding is a versatile treatment, which can be used to alter the shape and size of the teeth and close gaps between the teeth.
The beauty of bonding is the simplicity; the changes we make to the individual teeth are actually very simple and often very minor, but the overall look of the smile can be completely transformed using this procedure and you’ll be amazed when you see your smile for the first time in the mirror.
How does cosmetic bonding work?
Bonding treatment involves using dental composite to bring about aesthetic changes to the teeth. Your dentist will use composite to make the necessary changes to individual teeth by shaping the composite to build up surfaces, smooth edges and address chips. Initially, the composite is soft and similar in consistency to putty; once it is in place, it is then hardened using a curing light.
Your dentist will match the composite to your tooth shade, so that you cannot tell the difference between your tooth and the composite. Once it is hard and any final adjustments have been made, you can take a look at your new, healthy looking smile.
Is bonding painful?
Bonding is a painless, simple procedure and usually there is no need for any anaesthetic, which means no needles! The sensation of shaping the teeth and bonding the composite may feel a little odd, but the procedure only lasts an hour and you should feel very relaxed and comfortable throughout.
