Aesthetic dentistry > Composite resins – Bonding
Bonding is the repair of decayed, broken, nicked or discoloured teeth with tooth-coloured composite resin material. Bonding applications are aesthetic treatments that can be applied without needing to prepare the tooth surface, or with very little roughening, especially in the gaps between the teeth. It may be possible to achieve the desired result by using special filling materials.
With composite lamina applications, very little tissue is removed from the front surface of the tooth, and it is possible to restore fractures, correct crookedness or gaps that we call diastema, and to provide an aesthetic smile.
Bonding application is an easy and inexpensive cosmetic application. It is often used to close the spaces between the teeth, to change the shape of the teeth (such as making the teeth appear longer) and improve tooth colour.
In the first 48 hours, it is necessary to stay away from coloured food and drinks as much as possible in order to prevent stains. Tea, coffee, cigarettes cause discoloration of the resin material used in bonding application. You should maintain excellent oral hygiene for your teeth (toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss, interface brush), and continue to attend your dentist for routine examinations and cleaning appointments.
Although a successful treatment, composite resin is not as strong as a natural tooth. Hard objects can break or fracture the composite when you bite or chew. The bonding application has a life of several years, then it may need to be repaired.
