Composite bonding is the use of a composite material that is bonded to your tooth to rebuild or re-shape teeth to make them look aesthetically better. It is a simple non-invasive solution for treating chipped teeth, gaps between teeth or for correcting discolouration.
One of the key benefits of composite bonding is just how fast it is to get a great new smile. Whether you need a fast smile makeover for a big event such as a wedding or just need to smile with more confidence without investing in lengthier treatment, why not see how the team at Westdale Dental can help with the latest cosmetic bonding?
1. What is cosmetic bonding? - Cosmetic bonding is a dental procedure where a tooth-colored resin is applied to the teeth to repair minor imperfections such as chips, cracks, gaps, or discoloration. The resin is shaped and polished to match the surrounding teeth for a natural look.
2. How long does cosmetic bonding last? - Bonding typically lasts 3 to 10 years, depending on factors like oral hygiene, eating habits, and the location of the bonding.
3. Is the procedure painful? - Cosmetic bonding is usually painless and doesn't require anesthetic unless it's used to fill a cavity.
4. How long does the procedure take? - The procedure usually takes 30 to 60 minutes per tooth and can often be completed in a single visit.
5. How do I care for bonded teeth? - Care for bonded teeth like natural teeth - brush twice daily, floss regularly, avoid hard foods, and avoid staining substances like coffee or tobacco.
