Mention cosmetic dentistry and you’ll probably think of two popular treatments. Teeth whitening and veneers get much-deserved attention. But there’s another treatment that’s gaining ground. Dental bonding is not only a simple procedure but the cost savings are notable by comparison. Bonding is a versatile solution for treating your damaged or unattractive teeth. The tooth-colored resin that’s used bonds to the surfaces of your teeth. Dental bonding can repair and restore your teeth that are stained, cracked, chipped, or gapped.
Lower your risk
Your oral health faces risk the longer you delay repairing your tooth damage. Bacteria can easily invade your tooth structure through untreated cracks or chips. Risks to your teeth increase as oral bacteria multiply. Their attack focuses on your vulnerable tooth enamel progressing into your unprotected tooth structure causing decay, cavities, and tooth loss.
Dental bonding protects the areas that are exposed to bacteria growth. The tooth-colored materials used in bonding create a protective barrier from bacterial damage. Bonding is most often used on your front (visible) teeth. This location is subjected to less pressure while biting and chewing.
Cost-benefit analysis
Dental bonding is a cost-effective alternative to porcelain veneers. The procedure can be completed in less time and your overall financial investment will be much less.
Your bonding treatment can be completed in one office visit on most occasions. You will experience a comfortable procedure and will depart your appointment with attractive tooth restoration.
