Dental bonding is perhaps the niftiest way to have the color, size, shape, alignment or health of teeth improved in a manner that both you and your pocket are going to love. It involves the application of a composite resin, which has the same color as natural healthy teeth, on the dentine being treated. A beam of ultraviolet light is used to harden the resin, which causes a “bonding” between the plastic resin and tooth, producing the desired result.
As you may have guesses by now, dental bonding is the easiest and the cheapest of all dental cosmetic surgeries. What's better is that it has an array of other advantages as well.
Dental bonding is:
1. Faster
– You can have the entire dental bonding procedure done in one visit to the doctor, especially if one or two teeth are involved only. On an average, bonding takes between 30 and 60 minutes, per tooth.
2. More holistic
– Bonding leaves a large portion of your natural teeth enamel intact. Only a small amount is removed to place the resin. Other procedures such as veneers and crowns are rather destructive of natural teeth structure in comparison.
3. Drug-free
– Dental bonding procedures do not require the administration of anesthesia and are a great option for patients who do not feel comfortable with anesthetics. Only the filling of cavities with bonding needs anesthesia.
4. Long lasting
– When done by a trained professional and maintained properly, dental bonding may last up to 10 years without the need for any touch-up or replacement.
5. Hassle-free maintenance
– Teeth with dental bonding are relatively easy to maintain. They do not need any special care except, the observation of good oral and dental hygiene.
