Dental Teeth Bonding
Cosmetic Dentistry serving Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Teeth bonding, also referred to as composite bonding, is a procedure in which a strong resin compound is applied to your tooth or teeth. The teeth bonding is permanently cured and bonded to the surface using a specially calibrated light.
Effective for treating both cosmetic and structural problems, teeth bonding is an excellent choice for many patients with problems such as:
- Chipping
- Cracking
- Pitting
- Staining
- Decay
- Gaps between teeth
- Receding gums
- Irregular sized or shaped teeth
- Other surface abnormalities
The resin material used for our teeth bonding has a number of advantages over traditional filling material. Teeth bonding can be matched to the color of the rest of your teeth, creating a seamless, natural looking improvement.
Resin is structurally similar to natural tooth material—the dental resin used form teeth bonding mimics the natural expansion and contraction of tooth tissue, making the bonding much more resilient than metal-mercury amalgam fillings.
The teeth bonding procedure
The procedure for dental teeth bonding is done in a single office visit.
First, any damaged tooth material is carefully cleared away, and then the surface of the tooth is prepared using an etching fluid that textures the tooth surface so the resin will bond securely.
Then, Dr. George will prepare the resin and apply it to the tooth surface in layers, building and shaping it to recreate the appearance and structure of a strong, healthy tooth. Once the tooth is sculpted and fitted, it is cured using a specially calibrated light that hardens the bond to a permanent, enamel-like finish.
