Dental bonding is a dental procedure that involves adding tooth-coloured material to your teeth to improve their appearance. It is also known as cosmetic or composite bonding. This is a pain-free procedure used to make your teeth aesthetically pleasing. It fixes minor flaws that do not require orthodontic treatment. Dental bonding in Ajax, Ontario, is a fast and non-invasive procedure.
This procedure begins with an assessment of your teeth and smile. Then, the dentist will use a shade guide to choose the composite resin colour that closely resembles the colour of your natural teeth.
The surface of the tooth will be roughened to help the composite resin stick well to it. Tell your dentist if you feel slightly uncomfortable during this step, and topical anesthesia will be applied to the area. Next, a liquid adhesive is applied to the tooth to help the material stick to the enamel.
Your dentist will apply the composite resin over the tooth. This material has a putty-like texture that allows the dental professional to mould or shape it as desired. First, the material is hardened using ultraviolet light then shaped to a smooth surface. Finally, polishing is done to prevent the resin from irritating the inside of the lips.
This procedure is completed in a single visit at Smiles by Dr. Patel, and you can resume your normal duties after.
This procedure can close small gaps between the teeth or a noticeable gap (diastema) between two front teeth. Tooth-coloured fillings in Ajax, Ontario, are used to close multiple or single gaps since they look like natural teeth. Big gaps require orthodontic treatment before a composite resin is used to fill in the tiny gaps left.
A composite resin is added strategically to crooked teeth to hide the slight misalignment.
Individuals with teeth shorter or smaller than the rest can have them altered using tooth-coloured fillings in Ajax, Ontario.
The lifespan of your bonded teeth can be extended with proper oral care habits and a healthy lifestyle. Here are some tips to help you in taking care of your teeth bonding.
Your natural teeth are not ruined by dental bonding. It is a conservative procedure that requires little to no alteration of the natural tooth. The filling material may chip or stain after a few years, but your teeth will not be affected.
Dental bonding at Smiles by Dr. Patel is a pain-free procedure that does not require an anesthetic. There are no injections or drilling in the natural teeth.
