Teeth Bonding
“Bonding” is a cosmetic dental procedure used to improve the look of anterior teeth. Tooth Bonding may take many forms and is typically used to close spaces between teeth and to make teeth appear more natural. Sometimes, patients will have gaps between their front upper teeth. When this naturally happens, teeth bonding will allow for the gaps to be filled in.
A tooth colored composite filling material is generally used to complete procedures. This is many times considered an “additive” procedure whereby the enamel of your tooth is not removed but composite is added to give your teeth a better look. Therefore is a great way to achieve a nice smile without “cutting” or dramatically changing your tooth. This procedure can be completed in as little as one appointment or make take several to complete. If the gap is between the front two teeth, material would be placed on the two adjacent tooth surfaces. The material should be approximately equal thickness on both teeth for the best esthetics.
This type of procedure has been in dentistry for years. It is a very delicate and time consuming procedure that takes skill technically and an artistic ability as well. Beyond the esthetic value of the bonding, it must be in proper contour to all for appropriate hygiene. Procedure may involve just a few teeth or that of an entire smile line.
