Dental Bonding
Jacksonville, FL
 Dental bonding is considered an economical solution to fixing broken, chipped, and stained teeth. It is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that involves the use of a tooth-colored composite to improve the appearance of the teeth. The material is applied to your damaged teeth, shaped, hardened with a UV light, and finally polished to make them look natural like your other teeth. The material bonds firmly to your teeth hence the name dental bonding. One of the benefits of the procedure is that it does not require several visits to the dentist, and it only takes 30 to 60 minutes for the procedure to be completed. Here at our Ortega Dental dental office, our dentist can help you know if it is a suitable treatment for your teeth.
What Makes Dental Bonding the Best Option?
If you cannot afford expensive dental treatments such as veneers and crowns, dental bonding may be the most suitable solution for you. It works effectively and can also prevent the spread of bacteria. The maintenance of dental bonding is also not complicated. You only need to ensure you brush, floss, and consume fewer colored foods and drinks to maintain the color of your bondings. Your dentist will also give you other tips on taking care of your dental bondings.
Apart from that, the dental bonding procedure is always straightforward, and there is no need for anesthesia because your tooth nerves will not be interfered with in any way. Even during polishing, you will not feel any pain, so there is no need for any injections.
Who is a Suitable Candidate for Dental Bonding?
Like dental implants, dental bonding is also not for everybody. They are best for teeth with minor injuries that are not severely decayed. If your teeth are severely decayed, you may not qualify for this treatment. Other solutions like dental implants and crowns may be more suitable for you. Apart from that, bondings are great for individuals who are already comfortable with the color of their teeth. If you are not okay with the brightness of your teeth, you will first need to get a whitening procedure before getting a dental bonding. This is because the dentist usually bonds your teeth depending on the color of your other teeth to make all teeth appear uniform.
What Happens During the Bonding Procedure?
If the dentist has already decided that you are a perfect candidate for the procedure, they will choose a composite that matches your teeth. After they have chosen the right shade for your teeth, the dentist will roughen your tooth surface before applying the bonding material. This is to ensure the composite resin sticks well to your tooth. After that, the material will be well molded, dried with a UV light, and finally polished to make all surfaces of the tooth smooth.
Is It Possible to Whiten Dental Bondings?
If your teeth bonding is stained, you opt for a teeth whitening procedure. The whitening agents will not ruin your dental bonding.
