Also known as “tooth bonding,” dental bonding is a procedure used to repair chipped or cracked teeth. Spacing problems and gaps between teeth can also be fixed with dental bonding without requiring orthodontic measures.
The procedure involves the use of soft composite resin to fix minor cracks or chips in teeth. Since the composite resin is pliable, it can be molded into any shape. It can also be polished into any color, allowing the dentist to make it look like your natural tooth.
After the resin is perfectly placed and molded onto the tooth, it is “set” with a special light that hardens the bonding, making it look and feel like your natural tooth.
If you want to get dental bonding but are scared that it will be painful, you can relax. Dental bonding is a completely painless procedure. In fact, it is so pain-free, you don’t even need anesthesia for it.
Another thing that you may be concerned about is the cost of the procedure. You’d be happy to learn that dental bonding is one of the most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedures. In fact, its affordability is one of the main reasons why it is so common.
However, it is still important to go to a good dentist for this procedure – which may not be the most affordable one you can find. Many inexperienced dentists can offer this service, but the bonding may not last long. Since the material used for this purpose isn’t particularly strong, a good dentist should be able to handle the procedure.
