Bonding
Bonding, also called bonding restoration, involves making minor repairs to teeth. Composite resin is applied to change the shape and colour of your tooth. The procedure is painless and several teeth can be bonded during one dental visit.
Here's how dental bonding is done:
- Your dentist puts a mild chemical on your tooth to make it rough. This step helps the composite resin stick better to the enamel of your tooth.
- The composite resin is mixed and tinted to match the colour of your natural teeth.
- Your dentist puts the composite resin on your tooth in layers.
- A very bright light is used to harden (or cure) each layer of resin as it is put on your tooth.
- After the last layer of composite resin is hardened (or cured), your dentist shapes and polishes the resin so the finished tooth looks natural and smooth.
Bonding Advantages:
- The procedure is painless. There is only minor drilling involved, but it does not require a local anesthetic.
- Bonding can usually be complete in one dental visit.
- Bonding is affordable compared to receiving crowns.
- Bonding can be used on children, because bonded material can be removed and replaced as children's teeth grow.
Veneers
Veneers are attached to the front of teeth and are made of either composite resin or porcelain material. Porcelain is stronger and resists staining and discolouration. Porcelain veneers are applied in two dental sessions, while composite resin can be applied during a single visit to your dentist.
It is important to note that once veneers are applied, the procedure cannot be reversed. In addition, veneers need the same care and require regular brushing and flossing just like ordinary teeth.
Over a period, your veneers may need replacing or a crown applied because of wear and tear, or if a cavity forms under the veneers.
If you have had bonding or veneers applied, you need to be cautious when biting hard food or eating anything chewy to avoid chipping. Also, avoid biting hard objects like fingernails or ice cubes.
Your dentist can assess you to see if you are a good candidate to receive bonding or veneers. Call Woodbridge Dentistry today so we can help you achieve the beautiful smile you desire.
