Dental bonding is an aesthetic procedure that includes applying a tooth-colored resin material to the surface of the teeth.
When shaped and molded to match the natural tooth shape, it can effectively repair any cracks or chips. The bonding material also helps to strengthen the damaged tooth,
making it less prone to future damage. With proper attention and treatment, patients can expect their bonding restoration to last many years before needing
replacement.
Drs. Stephen Gaines and Arti Patel at Sherwood Dental in Oakville, Ontario, can discuss this treatment with you and help you decide if it is best
for your smile!
Can dental bonding help fix broken or gapped teeth?
Dental bonding services can address several cosmetic and functional issues with the smile, including correcting gaps between
teeth near the front of the smile and broken and chipped teeth. In fact, dental bonding is used for all the following reasons:
- Repairing cracks and chips in the teeth. Over time, teeth may become cracked or chipped due to wear and tear, injury, or decay. Dental bonding is an effective solution for these issues
- Staining or discoloration of a tooth. If you have a discolored tooth, it can be addressed with porcelain veneers, professional-strength teeth whitening, or dental bonding
- Areas of tooth decay.Tooth decay can result in large holes in the natural tooth structure that may affect oral health and even lead to infection. Fillings made with composite resin are often strong, durable, and aesthetic, making it one of the best materials for filling in cavities in the smile
What should I expect from my upcoming dental bonding appointment?
The bonding resin adheres to the tooth, filling in cracks and replacing chipped areas.
Once the material is hardened with a special curing light and polished, the bonded tooth closely
resembles the natural tooth in appearance and function, restoring the patient's smile and confidence!
