We deal with the restoration of teeth by bonding. The procedure is painless and non-invasive - it does not involve much interference with the dental tissues. It is performed primarily to improve the aesthetics of the smile. In our office, we use composite materials of the highest quality, and when selecting them, we take into account the individual expectations of patients.
Indications for bonding are, among others, discolouration, small cavities, diastema, interdental gaps, uneven teeth, chipped tooth crown, cracked or chipped tooth. The treatment does not have such a permanent effect as, for example, the following. fitting a prosthetic crown, however, can significantly improve the appearance of the teeth and is much less complicated and time-consuming. It is an excellent choice for those wishing to make only minor aesthetic corrections.
What is dental bonding?
Tooth bonding is carried out using materials such as composite resin. It is available in many colours, allowing the shade to be precisely matched to the patient's teeth. The procedure itself takes place in several stages: first, the tooth surface is thoroughly cleaned, then the enamel is etched with a mild acid to prepare it for the resin application. The next step is the application of the actual composite. A preparation is also used to increase the adhesion of subsequent layers. The composite is cured with a dental lamp and finally the teeth are smoothed and ground.
The durability of the dental bonding effect depends on several factors, including the quality of the composite, but also on the patient's hygiene habits and diet - it is recommended, among other things, to limit the consumption of large quantities of staining products and to refrain from smoking papers.
Importantly, this type of treatment is only carried out on healthy teeth. Main contraindications to bonding are carious lesions, gum and periodontal disease, bruxism and poor oral hygiene.
Advantages of bonding in dentistry
Bonding in dentistry offers many advantages, both aesthetically and functionally. Above all, it allows natural tooth restorationwhich is particularly important for those who care about the appearance of their smile. Thanks to the precise modelling of the shape by the dentist, the end result is difficult to distinguish from healthy tissue. Another advantage is the speed and simplicity of the procedure - the filling can be performed in a single visit, which saves patients time. Bonding is also less invasive than traditional methods such as crowns or veneers, which means there is less risk of complications and less time for tissue regeneration. It is worth noting that bonding is of growing interest among those seeking effective dental solutions.
Types of tooth filling
A variety of fillings are available at the Smile Clinic, which vary in material and application. The most popular are composite and ceramicThe materials used are highly aesthetic and long-lasting. For carious cavities, composite materials are mainly used, while ceramic materials are recommended for larger defects. Another type is bonding, a method of adhering a special material to the tooth surface, used mainly for aesthetic purposes. Fillings are one of the most commonly performed dental procedures and modern materials provide durability and aesthetics. To prepare for your visit, it is advisable to make an appointment for a consultation and to take care of your oral hygiene.
