If you’re unhappy with the appearance of your teeth, you may be a candidate for composite tooth bonding. This simple, affordable procedure can improve the look of your teeth and give you the confidence to smile again.
At its core, composite bonding involves the application of a tooth-colored resin to the surface of the tooth. The resin is shaped and molded to match the natural contours of your teeth and then cured with a special light to harden it in place. The end result is a natural-looking, durable restoration that can last for many years with proper care.
Bonding can be used to correct a number of dental issues, including:

The teeth bonding process is simple and is usually completed in just a few steps.
Step 1: Preparation The first step in the process is to prepare the tooth for bonding. This may involve removing any decay or damaged tooth structure, cleaning the tooth, and roughening the surface of the tooth to help the bonding material adhere.
Step 2: Bonding Once the tooth is prepared, the dentist will apply the composite resin to the tooth. The resin is applied in layers and shaped and molded to match the natural contours of your teeth.
Step 3: Curing After the resin is in place, it is cured with a special light to harden it and bond it to the tooth. Once the resin is cured, the dentist will shape and polish it to match the natural shine of your teeth.
The entire process is completed in one to four visits depending on case complexity. This makes it a quick and convenient solution for many dental issues.
Proper oral hygiene is essential to maintaining the results of bonding. You should brush and floss regularly and visit your dentist for routine check-ups and cleanings. You should also avoid certain habits, such as biting your nails or using your teeth as tools, that will damage the bonding material.
While teeth composite bonding is a durable solution for many dental issues, it may require touch-ups or replacement over time. We can advise you on the best way to maintain your results and how often you should schedule touch-up appointments.
