Dental bonding or teeth bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure with the use of composite resin. The material is applied onto the target teeth and hardened with a special light, bonding it together with the teeth to repair the damages.
Dental bonding is commonly used for:
Repair chipped or cracked teeth
Restore discolored teeth
Close the gap between teeth without resorting to orthodontic measures
Increase the length of shorter teeth to make it consistent with the other teeth
Fill cavities
Dental bonding is so popular because composite resin is a very cheap material, making the procedure extremely affordable. However, the disadvantage is that composite resin is not a very strong material, hence it might chip or crack when you are in the middle of biting some hard food.
Dental bonding is painless and hence doesn't require the use of anesthesia. While it is a very simple and fast procedure that can usually be done within an hour, it is important to note that dental bonding is best for fixing small imperfections like cracks or gaps between teeth and not for major damages on the teeth. Therefore, make sure that you consult a qualified dentist to check if it is suitable for you.
