Dental bonding or teeth bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that is widely used for small and short-term cosmetic changes through the use of composite resin. The dentist will apply the material onto the affected teeth, mold it into the right shape, and finally harden it with a special light to bond it together with the teeth.
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 one of the most affordable cosmetic dental procedures mainly due to the low prices of the materials used. 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 dental bonding is a very simple procedure that can be readily done in an hour, it is important to remember that it is just a cosmetic dental procedure so it is not suitable to repair teeth that are severely damaged. You should always consult a certified dentist before getting it done.
