COMPOSITE
BONDING
Composite tooth bonding
is a cosmetic dentistry technique that can work wonders for your smile.
Using materials that match the shade, translucency and texture of your
teeth, gaps between the teeth can be closed, spots, chips, and discolorations
can be eliminated, and your self-confidence can be enhanced through the
improved appearance of your smile.

Composite bonding is excellent
for small defects in the teeth - spots, chips, or gaps between teeth. For
smile alterations involving the entire tooth or multiple teeth, porcelain
is the material usually chosen by cosmetic dentists..
HOW
IS BONDING DONE?
Tooth bonding is usually
a one-visit procedure. The tooth is prepared by lightly roughening the
area to be repaired, which usually doesn't require anesthetic. Then the
surface of the tooth is etched with a gel, and a treatment of bonding primers
and resins is applied to the tooth. Then the composite is applied. Dental
composites are materials made of acrylic resins impregnated with inorganic
fillers, and containing photo initiators. They are made to a paste-like
consistency so that they can be sculpted to the proper shape. They contain
various pigments which are matched to your tooth color, and they come in
varying degrees of translucency, with careful attention paid to their polish
ability. This composite is applied to your tooth, sometimes in several
layers in order to duplicate the depth of color that occurs in a natural
tooth. A high-intensity curing light is then used to harden it. With careful
artistry, this composite can be manipulated to mimic the color details
and translucency of your tooth, and polished to a beautiful shine. |

A caution to the consumer: While
any general dentist can legally announce that he or she is a "cosmetic
dentist," and many dentists do white fillings, we recommend that any patient
who wants cosmetic bonding only go to a dentist with extensive post-graduate
training in cosmetic dentistry. The bonding techniques and artistry required
to do composite bonding well are not required training of general dentists. |
