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 one of the most affordable cosmetic dental procedures mainly due to the low prices of the materials used. The downside to keep in mind is that composite resin is not as strong as our natural teeth, so there is a chance for the bond to chip or crack if you bite down on 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. You should always consult a certified dentist before getting it done.
