There are quite a lot
of treatments that your trusted dentist can do to restore your
chipped teeth and get you looking your best again. Unfortunately,
many involve quite invasive or even downright surgical procedures.
Dental bonding stands out among these as it is generally painless and
minimally invasive, so you won’t have to spend a lot of time in
recovery.
Basic Facts
Dental bonding is the
process of applying a tooth-colored resin (the composite) to fix a
damaged tooth. One thing that sets it apart from other dental
treatments is the fact that it doesn’t take a lot of time to
complete, since the composite can be applied by dentists in a single
visit. In doing so, it will actually take away very little of your
teeth’s original structure.
Being a Candidate
So now you know the
many pros of getting dental composite bonding—but are you even
eligible for the procedure? The best way to find out is through a
consultation with your dentist. You’ll have to undergo a thorough
dental examination, perhaps even a few x-rays, for your dental
professional to ascertain that the condition of your teeth and gums
are indeed suited for the procedure.
At-Home Care
Even though it doesn’t
involve a lengthy, multi-visit surgical procedure, you will still
need to make sure that your newly-bonded teeth perform the way
they’re supposed to. For one, you need to maintain proper oral
hygiene—brush and floss around your bonded teeth carefully.
