Dental bonding or cosmetic bonding, is also known as direct veneers or composite veneers. Dental bonding are made from composite resin that is a virtually undetectable tooth colored material is attached to the tooth surface. Dental bonding may be used solve teeth that are chipped, stained, or slightly misaligned.
Dental bonding is a painless process and is usually performed without the need of anesthesia. Like porcelain veneers, dental bonding is commonly used in cosmetic dentistry and veneers has thus earned the nickname "instant orthdontics"
The dental bonding treatment treatment takes just one appointment visit.
During the first appointment, your dentist preps a very thin layer of teeth surface to allow proper spacing for the dental bonding. The direct veneers is cured using a light catalyst to ensure that the composite veneers hardens and is securely bonded into place.
Dental bonding requires proper care and use (without biting on hard foods or applying heavy pressure). Dental bonding may need to be replaced after a certain period of time should it be chipped or turn yellowish over time.
For a longer-lasting treatment option result, porcelain veneers are sometimes opted instead that tends to provide better strength and does not turn color over time.
Other commonly done treatments in cosmetic dentistry related to dental bonding includes:
- Porcelain Veneers
- Dental Crowns
- Gap Closing
- Inlays and Onlays
- Orthodontic Braces
