Composite resin bonding (or simply, bonding) is used in a variety of general, cosmetic and emergency dental procedures. However, the effectiveness of composite bonding really shines in cosmetic procedures. Today’s composites offer excellent shade matching, bond strength and physical properties that closely mimic natural teeth.
Bonding involves a high degree of artistry. The natural shape and curvature of teeth must be reproduced, so finding a dentist who has extensive experience in the discipline is crucial to the result. The experts at Advanced Dentistry of Center City have the experience necessary to ensure the highest level of structural and cosmetic quality for desirable, long-lasting results. Dental bonding has a number of benefits including:
• Typically takes just one visit
• Minimally invasive procedure with little to no pain during or post-procedure
• Repairable if damaged
• Reversible (for temporary applications)
• Affordable alternative to porcelain veneers
• Accurately match the shape and shade of existing teeth
Teeth can lose their pearly whiteness in a variety of ways. As we age, tooth enamel tends to thin allowing the underlying layer of dentin (which yellows over time) to show through. Additionally, the foods and drinks you choose, tobacco, certain medications, and dental trauma also play their role to darken and discolor teeth.
There’s no doubt that whitening (also called bleaching) your teeth can boost self-confidence. Whiter teeth also provide a more youthful and appealing appearance—but it’s not for every smile. Teeth that have been restored with caps or crowns, dental implants, bonding and fillings won’t respond to whitening agents.
Further, you shouldn’t use teeth whitening products if you’re pregnant, nursing or have braces. If you have extreme tooth sensitivity or worn enamel, whitening can exacerbate these conditions. Even if you plan to use store-bought products to brighten your smile, damage to teeth and gums is still possible. So be sure to discuss your cosmetic goals with Dr. Batra, who will be happy to help you determine the safest, most effective way to achieve the bright smile you’re after.
