Composite bonding, in the dental world, is becoming a popular treatment option. But what is it and why is it a popular treatment?
What is composite bonding?
Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure used to correct a dental imperfection. Essentially resin is matched to your natural tooth colour and applied to your tooth or teeth. It can be used to fix a chipped tooth, close a gap, change the colour of a particular tooth as well as used to improve the appearance of misaligned teeth.
The treatment needed for composite bonding
A specialist dentist, like one of our experts here at M Dental Canada Water, will sculpt and shape the resin so it blends naturally with your other teeth. After this a specialist light is used to set the resign and hey presto it gives you an improved aesthetic to your tooth or teeth.
Our patients, here at M Dental Canada Water, report that they have found the treatment is minimally invasive with great results.
How long does composite bonding last?
It is always important to remember that the life of a treatment is somewhat dependent on you. It is important that you put into place a solid dental hygiene routine as well as following expert advice from your dentist. Taking good care of your teeth generally, and any treatment applied, will naturally place the lifetime of the treatment towards the higher end. With that being said composite bonding can usually last between 5 to 7 years making it an affordable and cost effective treatment option.
Are there other treatment options that do the same thing?
It could be said that there are other treatment options. An example of this would be say a porcelain veneer. However there are benefits such as costs when it comes to composite bonding – it is a cheaper option than others. Composite bonding doesn’t require the removal of enable from your teeth. In turn this means that a composite bonding treatment causes less discomfort, doesn’t damage other teeth or indeed cause further damage to the treated tooth. The procedure itself is quick and painless.
The end results
Our patients here at M Dental Canada Water have been more than pleased with their results. Because the procedure is minimally invasive, and not a long treatment option, results can be seen quickly. Patients have visited and seen results the same day. Our dental experts go above and beyond to help create the smile you deserve. Whilst the treatment is a quicker option, than other treatments, our experts still work very hard to ensure a natural look. This includes using the right resin to match surrounding teeth thereby creating an extension to your tooth. Unless you tell them people rarely notice that it isn’t the original tooth showing!
Overall the confidence boost given by composite treatment is valued the most. No more hiding your smile or placing your hand over your mouth to cover an imperfection. Having composite bonding allows you to show the world your newly improved teeth.
