Dental Bonding

Dental bonding can restore damaged teeth and give people the confidence to smile. This simple dental procedure can fix various defects or imperfections in teeth. The composite resin in dental bonding is applied and shaped to teeth to provide patients with natural and healthy-looking smiles. If you are interested in improving your smile, dental bonding may be the right option. Bellagio Dental Implant Center offers dental bonding in North Palm Beach and the surrounding area.

Understanding Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that can repair tooth damage. The bonding process involves the adhesion of composite resin, a durable plastic material, to the tooth’s surface. The tooth-colored resin ultimately bonds to the tooth to improve its overall appearance.

This procedure is helpful for people with chipped, cracked, decayed, or discolored teeth. The composite resin used in dental bonding is pliable, allowing our dentist to customize and mold it into the proper shape or size. Our dentist can also color match the composite resin to closely match it to the natural color of the patient’s teeth.

Candidates for Dental Bonding

Patients with aesthetic dental problems are the best candidates for dental bonding. Dental bonding is ideal for cosmetic dental issues that do not require major restorative work. Patients that are interested in receiving this treatment should have healthy teeth without excessive decay or trauma. Teeth should also have roots that are in good condition and most of their enamel intact. Dental bonding can help fix various dental issues, including:

  • Abnormally sized teeth
  • Discolored teeth
  • Exposed tooth roots caused by receding gums
  • Minor cracks or chips
  • Misshapen teeth
  • Small gaps in teeth

Dental Bonding Benefits

Process of Dental Bonding

How does dental bonding compare to veneers?

Veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells that are customized to cover the front of a tooth to mask imperfections. The porcelain material of veneers is more stain-resistant and durable than the resin of dental bonding. However, veneers are an irreversible procedure and often take more time than dental bonding, which is often quicker and easier to repair. Our dentist will help determine which restoration is the best fit for each patient’s dental needs.

The cost of dental bonding will vary based on the location, the extent of the procedure, and the patient’s insurance provider. While some dental insurance plans may cover this procedure, every plan is different. Patients should contact their insurance provider before seeking treatment.

The lifespan of a dental bonding is between five to 10 years. Patients can help extend the life of a bonded tooth by taking care of their teeth properly. Maintenance tips include brushing twice a day and flossing every day, not biting hard foods or objects, and scheduling regular dental check-ups.

The resin used in bonding can experience discoloration over time. Most bonding materials are nonporous and will not respond to whitening. Patients should avoid foods and beverages that cause surface stains like coffee or tea.

Our dentist can safely remove dental bondings. Unlike other dental restoration procedures like dental veneers, which are permanent, dental bondings are reversible. Our dentist may remove the bondings with sandpaper disks, a carbide drill, or a micro-etcher.
