Cosmetic Bonding
When you have discolored, chipped, or cracked teeth, then cosmetic bonding can prove to be helpful. The procedure involves adding a tooth-colored composite resin to the damaged teeth, which would help them to get repaired. This is a very cost-effective solution.
The procedure
To start with, your dentist would first choose a composite resin that would match the color of your natural teeth. He would make the surface of your teeth rough and then apply the liquid, which would allow the bonding agent to stick to the teeth.
Tooth bonding is helpful to the following conditions:
- Rotten tooth
- Worn-out edges
- Gravely discolored teeth
- Abnormally shaped tooth
- Little holes in the teeth
- Chipped tooth
- Little holes between teeth
Side effects of dental bonding
The procedure does not bear any significant risk. However, you should remember that the composite resin used in this procedure is not as durable as your natural teeth or a porcelain crown. So you would need to be a little bit careful while applying pressure to those teeth. Also, you should remember that these are not resistant to stain and might get discolored with the excessive use of tobacco or caffeine.
After treatment care
Here are a few tips which would help you to take care of your teeth after cosmetic bonding:
- You should follow the twice-daily brushing routine along with flossing
- Try to avoid hard and sweet food
- Do not bite your nails
- Avoid tobacco and colored beverages that can stain your bonding
- Visit the dentist for regular check-ups at least twice a year
