Bonding is a widely used treatment method in the field of aesthetic dentistry. This method, which is preferred to correct minor defects in the teeth, remove discoloration, improve deformities and provide a more aesthetic appearance of the teeth, offers fast and effective results. Bonding application offers a comfortable alternative for patients as it is a minimally invasive procedure.
Bonding is the process of applying composite resin, an aesthetic material, over the teeth. The composite resin mimics the color and shape of the natural tooth by shaping the tooth harmoniously. Since this material adheres strongly to the tooth, a permanent and durable result is achieved. Bonding can be used to correct tooth deformities, repair cracks, eliminate gaps or improve tooth color.
Bonding can usually be completed in a single dental appointment. Composite resin is placed on the tooth, shaped and hardened. It is a much faster process compared to other aesthetic dental treatments.
Bonding is a procedure that requires no or minimal abrasion of the tooth. The treatment can be easily applied without damaging the natural structure of the tooth. This means a low-risk and comfortable treatment option for patients.
The composite resin is selected in harmony with the natural color of the tooth and when applied to the tooth, the texture and appearance of the natural tooth is imitated. As a result, it has a very natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Bonding is a more affordable alternative to other aesthetic dental treatments such as porcelain veneers or dentures. This offers an attractive solution for patients who need aesthetic treatment but are looking for a more cost-effective option.
Bonding can solve many aesthetic problems, such as correcting tooth discoloration, small cracks, fractures, gaps between teeth or small tooth size. This procedure can be customized according to individual needs.
The dentist evaluates the patient’s dental health and decides whether bonding is appropriate. The areas in need are identified and a treatment plan is created.
Minimal abrasion can be applied to the tooth during bonding. This stage allows the composite resin to adhere better to the tooth. Local anesthesia is usually not required because the procedure is finished with minimal interference to the tooth tissue.
The composite resin, which is selected in the appropriate color for the tooth, is applied to the tooth and shaped. This material is placed thinly to achieve the natural appearance of the tooth. By shaping the material, the dentist achieves the desired result.
The composite resin is hardened with a special light device. This ensures a strong adhesion of the material to the tooth.
After the resin hardens, the dentist puts the finishing touches on the tooth, correcting its shape and surface. Finally, the tooth is polished to give it a natural look.
Bonding is usually painless. Since the need to abrade the tooth is minimal, most patients do not require local anesthesia. However, in some cases a small part of the tooth may be abraded, in which case slight discomfort may be felt. In general, the procedure is painless.
Bonding usually lasts between 5-10 years, but this depends on personal oral hygiene habits and dental care. Factors such as regular dental care, not smoking and avoiding hard foods can extend the life of the bonding. However, the bonding material can wear and discolor over time
Once bonding has been applied, no special care is required, but it is important to observe good oral hygiene. Regular brushing and flossing will prolong the life of the bonding. It is also advisable to avoid excessive consumption of substances that can cause discoloration, such as smoking, tea and coffee.
Bonding is suitable for anyone who wants minor aesthetic corrections that generally do not harm dental health. However, it may not be suitable for people with large cavities, advanced gum disease or serious dental disorders.
