Dental bonding is a common consideration when individuals are looking to have minor cosmetic changes to their teeth.
While dental bonding is not really a permanent solution for restoring tooth shape and size, it is typically a less-expensive solution than the alternatives of porcelain veneers or no-prep veneers. Dental bonding is not nearly as intrusive as the other cosmetic procedures, which allows the restoration to take place with just one visit.
Dental bonding is essentially the use of a composite material or resin that is applied to a tooth and hardened in order to repair damaged or cracked teeth, change the shape of a tooth, or to eliminate gaps between natural teeth. This resin is created to match the natural color of your teeth in order to appear as natural as possible, and requires one visit to the dentist.
Dental bonding restorations do not require any special care or treatment after they have been applied. While they can last numerous years, they are not a permanent solution to fixing cosmetic concerns. They are generally more affordable, temporary solutions for individuals that feel self-conscious about certain parts of their smile, but can be better addressed with options such as veneers or crowns. Gaps and misaligned, crooked teeth can also be fixed with invisible braces or traditional metal orthodontics, which many individuals may consider in the future instead of using dental bonding to correct these concerns.
