There are many techniques available for creating a beautiful smile. Component tooth bonding is one of those techniques. The combination of silicon dioxide or quarts mixed with a resin that is synthetic creates a tough bonding. This mixture is made into composite bonding. These bonding types can come in different colors, shades, toughness, and translucencies.
What are the uses for cosmetic tooth bonding?
Component tooth bonding can be matched by the professional and artistic eye to cover:
- Repaired decay or cavities
- Gaps between teeth
- Blotches or spots in teeth
- Chips on or around the tooth surface
- Discoloration
- Broken front teeth
How do they do it?
Here at the Dentist in Spokane, they specialize in the art and design of composite bonding. In a single visit, your dentist can apply the composite mixture directly to the tooth surface. This bonding is then cured and set to a final hardness stage. The curing process is done usually by a light.
Is anesthesia involved?
Not usually. Most of the time, unless there is a cavity, there is no real pain involved. Your Spokane Dentist will be able to apply the composite bonding without anesthesia. After the application, there is some shaping of the tooth. This shaping may cause some tooth sensitivity for a short amount of time after the procedure is complete.
How long does composite bonding last?
As with any other type of dental procedure, bonding has a life expectancy. Depending on the amount of composite bonding that is completed, you may recognize stains and discoloration sooner. If there are only one or two teeth with bonding, it is harder to see the wear on the tooth. When there are several teeth, it is more recognizable. If the composite tooth bonding is done correctly, the bonding will last a very long time.
