Dental Bonding Sydney

What Is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding (also known as composite bonding or teeth bonding) is a form of adhesive dentistry where our dentists will use tooth-coloured resin to correct crooked, broken, or wrongly spaced teeth. This resin is bonded with your natural tooth and will help improve your smile’s overall functionality and aesthetic appearance.

What Is Dental Bonding Used For?

There are many minor tooth problems that dental bonding can address, including:

• Slight chips to the tooth
• Slightly shorter teeth
• Slightly misaligned teeth
• Slightly paced out teeth
• Discoloured teeth

Before beginning any dental bonding session, our dentists will conduct a one-on-one consultation with you to ensure you know what to expect from the procedure. This session will detail everything you need to know, including maintenance and care tips. In addition, we’ll evaluate the extent of your dental health and determine whether you are the right candidate for the dental bonding procedure.

Procedure

The dental bonding procedure can last anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour. During this time, the following steps will be taken:

1. Check for suitability: Our dentists will determine whether the procedure is appropriate for your teeth. If you have more severe problems, they may suggest more advanced treatments instead of dental bonding.
2. Choose your shade: Our dentist will choose the shade of material that best matches your current set of teeth to ensure the filling looks as natural as possible.
3. Abrade the surface: After you choose the colour of your resin, our dentists will etch the surface of your teeth to make them rougher and ensure the adhesive bonds properly with your set. This part of the procedure is painless and will not require any anaesthetic. Your tooth will then be coated with a conditioning liquid which will help strengthen the bonding.
4. Application of resin: Once your tooth is ready, our dentist will apply and mould resin into the proper shape of your tooth. A UV light is then used to harden the resin, which is then shaped, polished, and trimmed until it matches your smile perfectly.

Composite Bonding Benefits

There are many benefits associated with dental bonding as the procedure is an ideal way of restoring your teeth’ aesthetic appearance and functionality. If you are struggling with visual deficiencies in your teeth, then you may opt for dental bonding based on the following advantages:

• Less expensive than other restorative treatments, including dental veneers and crowns
• An efficient procedure that can be completed within 30-60 minutes per tooth
• It does not usually require anaesthesia and is, therefore, a relatively easy procedure
• Includes various oral health benefits and strengthens your original tooth
• Dental bonding is ideal for mending minor dental cosmetic imperfections
