Tooth bonding, also known as dental bonding, is an oral procedure performed by a dentist to restore damaged teeth. Sometimes, tooth bonding is used to improve the appearance of teeth as well. If you ever look at dental bonding before and after pictures, you\u2019ll understand why it\u2019s popular!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the procedure, tooth-colored resin will be applied on the damaged tooth. Then, dental light that reacts to this resin is directed at the resin, which then hardens and bonds to the tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When To Get Tooth Bonding?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There are multiple scenarios where a tooth bonding procedure may be recommended by a dentist. Here are some of the more common ones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list list-item-normal\">\n<li>Repair of teeth that have decayed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repair of teeth that are either cracked or chipped<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fixing teeth that have become discolored and hence look ugly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fixing a set of teeth that have developed wide gap between them<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Extending the length of teeth that are too short and cause trouble while chewing food<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Modifying the natural shape of teeth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As an alternative to other dental solutions such as fillings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As a way of protecting parts of the mouth that have exposed gums<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tooth Bonding Procedure<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Tooth bonding is a fairly simple but occasionally lengthy procedure, so let\u2019s take a look at the steps involved:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list list-item-normal\">\n<li><strong>Before the Procedure<\/strong> \u2013 Tooth bonding does not involve any surgical equipment. In simple words, the entire procedure could be pictured as a simple exercise that involves filling a hole in a tooth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Further, the tooth bonding procedure is the same irrespective of the individual. The only time it becomes complicated is when a number of teeth are involved. Usually, the patient can just drop by, get the bonding done and walk out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Selecting Resin Color<\/strong> \u2013 The next step will be to pick the resin color. Different people have different colored teeth, and the dentist will select the color after some intensive matching, to ensure that your teeth look natural after the bonding procedure is complete.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bonding<\/strong> \u2013 Once the resin is chosen, the next step is the actual bonding activity. The tooth that is being subjected to the procedure will be roughened up. Then, a conditioning liquid will be applied on it. These two activities will ensure that the resin will stick to the teeth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After that, the resin is applied, and it\u2019s immediately shaped on the teeth to make it as natural looking as possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list list-item-normal\">\n<li><strong>Drying<\/strong> \u2013 The resin needs to be quickly dried up. To do this, the dentist will shine an ultraviolet light on the resin, which will harden pretty fast once exposed to the light. Even as the resin is hardening, the dentist will continue to work on it, adjusting the shape and fine tuning it for optimum results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Duration<\/strong> \u2013 The total duration of the procedure is typically about thirty minutes, but if the procedure is complicated or multiple teeth are involved, it might extend to 60 minutes or so. This applies to every tooth that needs bonding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Advantages and Disadvantages<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Some Of The Main Benefits Of Tooth Bonding Include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list list-item-normal\">\n<li><strong>Easy and Cheap<\/strong> \u2013 Compared to almost any other dental procedure, this is the easiest and cheapest option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Single Visit<\/strong> \u2013 Most dental procedures usually take multiple visits, but not tooth bonding.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reduced Enamel Loss<\/strong> \u2013 Many dental procedures come very close to damaging the enamel covering on the tooth, but tooth bonding does not.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No Anesthesia<\/strong> \u2013 Unless the tooth damage is severe, the procedure does not need the patient to go under anesthesia.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Like With Any Other Dental Procedures, There Are Few Disadvantages Too, like:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list list-item-normal\">\n<li><strong>Stains<\/strong> \u2013 Tooth bonding is not as stain-resistant as other dental procedures like crowns.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Not Long Lasting<\/strong> \u2013 Resin tends to scrape away pretty fast, sometimes leading to repeated tooth bonding procedures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>According to expert advice by a doctor (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodmandentalgoodyear.com\/\">Caleb Goodman<\/a>), dental bonding is a good option if the objective is to make minor cosmetic changes to the way your teeth look. The procedure is simple, costs less and has a lot of advantages. At the same time, it\u2019s not a permanent solution for those who are looking for long-term answers to serious dental problems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What is Tooth Bonding?
