What is cosmetic dental bonding?
Cosmetic dental bonding is a simple procedure where a tooth-colored resin is applied to your teeth to correct issues and improve their appearance. The dentist shapes the material and hardens it with a special light, creating a natural, smooth finish. Bonding is a quick, minimally invasive way to fix small imperfections quickly, making it an easy way to enhance your smile.
What issues can dental bonding fix?
Bonding can help with many small cosmetic or functional concerns. It can repair chipped or cracked teeth, close minor gaps, lengthen short teeth, or improve mild discoloration. It can even protect worn areas of enamel or exposed roots in some cases. While it isn’t a replacement for crowns or veneers, bonding is a fast, affordable way to improve the look and function of your teeth.
How long does bonding last on teeth?
With good care, dental bonding can last anywhere from three to ten years. Its lifespan depends on your oral hygiene, diet, and habits like nail-biting or chewing on hard objects. Regular dental visits help ensure the bonding stays strong and looks great. If it chips or stains over time, it’s usually easy to repair.
What’s the difference between bonding, fillings, and veneers?
Bonding, fillings, and veneers all restore teeth, but they serve different purposes. Bonding is mainly cosmetic and fixes small chips, gaps, or discoloration. Fillings repair teeth affected by decay and restore their function, usually with durable, composite material. Veneers are thin porcelain shells that cover the front of teeth for a bigger cosmetic change, perfect for improving shape, size, or severe discoloration.
