When an accident or fall leaves you with a damaged or chipped tooth, you’ll probably start to think about exactly what your dentist might be able to do to get your smile back to normal.

Well, you will definitely be glad to hear that there are indeed methods available that can be used by the dentists to help repair your damaged tooth. One of the most common and effective ways to do this is with a process known as dental bonding.

What is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding is the process of using a tooth-colored filling material to repair small areas of discoloration or damage of the teeth. Dental bonding is a safe and proven method of tooth repair that is used by dentists all over the world to solve a wide variety of cosmetic dental problems.

What Types of Dental Problems Can Bonding Solve?

There are many different situations where dental bonding can provide an effective solution for patients. Most commonly, dental bonding is used to repair small areas of accidental damage on teeth such as chips, scratches or other types of irregularities on the surface of a tooth. These areas of damage can be caused by a variety of factors, including sudden impacts to the mouth, biting down a particularly hard object, tooth grinding, or other types of physical stresses.

Dental bonding is also a potential solution to teeth that have been discolored or stained for a variety of reasons. The resulting inconsistent coloring of the teeth may not always be easily solved by other tooth whitening options, and so dental bonding may be considered as a corrective measure.

Dental bonding can also be an effective solution for reducing gaps between teeth. For patients with minor gaps who does not want to undergo a full orthodontic treatment procedure with braces or Invisalign, dental bonding can minimize the spaces between teeth in a way that looks very natural.

How Do I Care for Bonded Teeth?

Caring for teeth that have been repaired using dental bonding is simple. Majority of your normal dental care habits will still be necessary; brushing, flossing, and oral rinses are all essential habits that will help you care for your teeth. However, there are also a few things to keep in mind about bonded teeth.

It is recommended to avoid consumption of foods and drinks that can cause staining and discoloration of tooth enamel and even the material used in dental bonding.

For additional protection of bonded teeth, you can use a night guard that will help minimize the wear of the bonding material. This is especially important for anyone who has a tendency to grind their teeth during their sleep. 

Naturally, regular dental checkups and hygiene treatments should be followed as well. During these checkups, the dentist will closely inspect the bonded teeth and monitor the status of the repair. In the event that additional repairs are needed, your dentist will arrange your treatment to maintain the quality of oral health and avoid further problems.

Also known as Same-Day Veneers or Composite Bonding, Composite Veneers is an easy, painless and less invasive way to restore chipped, discolored or uneven teeth. It can also be used to close gaps between the teeth and cover discolorations.
A cosmetic dentist uses different shades of composite resin material which is sculpted on your teeth to produce beautiful, lifelike results, giving you a Smile Makeover in a single dental visit.

What are Composite Veneers Made From?

Composite Veneers are made from a composite resin material that is specially developed for dentistry. It is a paste that is applied to the tooth and sculpted into the desired shape and is hardened with a special light that cures the resin. The final restoration is then polished to give it the shine of natural teeth.
