Who Is A Good Candidate For Bonding?

If you want to conceal chips in your teeth, or camouflage discolorations; or if you want the gaps between your teeth to be gone or change the shape of your teeth, you can have a bonding procedure to do all of that.

What Are The Expected Outcomes Of Bonding?

The outcomes of bonding can be analyzed in three main categories: aesthetical, health-related, and psychological.

Aesthetical Outcomes

With the cracks, chips and irregularities or discolorations gone, you will have a more aesthetic smile.

Health-related Outcomes

The chips on teeth can lead to tooth decay because they are ideal locations for bacterial growth and harder for toothbrushes to reach, with bonding smoother surface will prevent bacterial growth and ease cleaning with toothbrush.

Psychological Outcomes

After bonding treatment, you’ll get rid of your insecurities and will be much more confident and happy with your smile.

How Is A Bonding Done?

Dental bonding is a process of repairing chipped, cracked, broken teeth. Bonding can bring volume to a missing piece, or change the shape of the tooth by adding volume to it.

Examination

First your dentist will take X-rays of your teeth to examine your teeth and gums and make sure your eligibility for the procedure. Only after you’ve been found eligible for bonding, the procedure will take place where a color-matched resin will be applied to create the desired shape of a tooth.

Local Anesthesia

Before the application of a color-matched (to your teeth) resin, the dentist will etch the tooth surface to make the resin adhere better to the tooth. This process can be done after numbing the area with local anesthetics in order to prevent any discomfort caused by etching the tooth. The dentist can coat the teeth with an additional conditioning liquid which will further help with the adherence of the resin to the teeth. After the application of the resin, they will shape it to a natural shape, and using a light the resin will be hardened. After the hardening, the tooth will be polished to a natural looking shine. The bonding procedure can take up to an hour; and if more teeth will be treated several appointments may be needed.

Risks and Complications

Bonding is a low risk and low complications procedure. Possible complications can include:

  • Need for a touch-up or replacement: These small touches always will be necessary and effortless.
  • Color mismatch: This can be easily solved by the professional dentists.
  • Sensitivity: This can lead to sensitivity to hot, cold, sweet, or acidic foods and drinks

What To Expect During A Bonding Recovery?

The First Week

In the first week after the dental bonding procedure, it is important to avoid eating or drinking anything that could stain the bonding material. This includes foods and beverages that are very dark in color, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and berries. It is also important to avoid biting or chewing on hard or sticky foods, as this could damage the bonding material or cause it to come loose.

Later

After the first week, it is generally safe to eat and drink whatever you like, as long as you brush and floss your teeth regularly to keep the bonding material clean and free of plaque. It is also important to avoid biting or chewing on hard or sticky foods, as this could still damage the bonding material.

Guidance & Support

After meeting with your dentist at their office during your consultation you express your expectations and the dentist checks the condition of your teeth. They will inform you about their professional opinion while taking your expectations and the condition of your teeth into consideration. Then, photos of your teeth will be taken for a 3D simulation. The size, model and color can be decided by you, and you can even choose the color from the tooth color chart. After deciding, on the first operation day teeth will be scraped and if there is a need for an extraction it will also take place on the first day. Temporary veneers will be put on and your dentist will prescribe you with painkillers and antibiotics. You will stay at the hotel for about 4-5 days. During your stay you will be visited by a wellbeing specialist, and if you’re having any problems your dentist will be contacted. After these 4-5 days, your permanent veneer will be applied and it will be all done.

What To Do Before The Bonding?

If you are planning to undergo dental bonding, there are a few things you can do to prepare for the procedure and ensure the best possible results. Some important steps to take before the bonding include:

  • Be aware if there is severe tooth-decay: You should consult with your dentist if you have severe tooth decay or a cavity. Dental bonding is typically used for minor repairs such as cracks or gaps, and should not be considered for more significant problems.
  • Avoid eating hard or sticky foods and drinking coffee and tea: Eating hard or sticky foods for a few days before the bonding procedure is not recommended, as these can damage the bonding material or cause it to come loose and coffee or tea can make it hard for the process.
  • Brush and floss your teeth: Be sure to brush and floss your teeth thoroughly before the bonding procedure to remove any plaque or debris from the surface of the teeth. This will help to ensure that the bonding material adheres properly and looks its best.

What To Do After The Bonding?

After the dental bonding procedure, you need to keep good oral hygiene to keep your mouth healthy.

Brushing twice and flossing once a day and biannual dentist visits for check-ups and cleaning is recommended. There is no special care needed. However, the material used can chip so avoiding hard foods and biting your nails or opening packages with your teeth is advised. If there are any sharp edges to the bonded tooth, schedule an appointment with your dentist.
