A Valuable Bond
Dental problems can range in severity from relatively mild
to quite serious. As a result, there are some cosmetic
dentistry procedures that are more appropriate for problems of a certain
type. If you have some small, relatively simple cosmetic issues, your dentist
might recommend dental
bonding.
Dental bonding is usually appropriate for patients dealing
with problems like:
- Decayed teeth
- Small chips in teeth
- Small cracks in teeth
- Crookedness
- Gaps between teeth
- Stains that can’t be addressed by teeth whitening
Part of the reason dental bonding is popular with many
patients is that it’s a simple procedure that requires little preparation work.
A resin that matches the color of your teeth will be applied to the appropriate
area. Then, your dentist will use a light to harden the material.
And that’s it. Your procedure is finished. Dental bonding
usually takes just one visit, and requires no anesthesia. It’s painless.
Dental bonding lasts between three and 10 years and can be
maintained using the same basic tenets of dental hygiene that your dentists
have been explaining your whole life. Just avoid chewing or biting any hard
objects and you should be satisfied with your dental bonding experience.
Ask your dentist if you have any dental
bonding questions.
