![]() How Bonding WorksBonding is a simple process that involves filling cracks or chips with a malleable resin that is designed to look exactly like your natural teeth. The bonding blends in, making it almost impossible to notice. It can be used to create chips, cracks, decay, or even make your uneven teeth look more even and visually appealing. You may even be able to use bonding as an alternative to a filling, though it depends on the location of the cavity and how bad it is.Why Use Bonding?Bonding has a number of benefits that make it the ideal way of transforming your smile. First, it's very affordable. Even those without dental insurance may be able to make use of bonding, though dental insurance generally covers at least some of the process. It takes very little time to have the tooth repaired. It's a quick process that usually only requires one treatment.Because it's not a surgery, there's no recovery time, either. There are no stitches or cuts you have to allow to heal. You can even start eating normally again fairly quickly. There's No Unusual Aftercare Bonding doesn't need any special cleaning or aftercare, either. Instead, you simply brush and floss around the area as you normally would. Bonding can be stained like normal teeth, of course, so you do need to be aware that drinking coffee and wine can stain the bonding, especially on the day it's applied. Once your bonding is in place, it can last for 15 years or more. It's very easy to replace, too. If you have any questions about restoring your smile with bonding, give us a call today. |
