What Is Tooth Bonding?

Tooth bonding is a conservative procedure done to repair chipped or cracked teeth. Tooth bonding will also close gaps between teeth when orthodontic treatment is not indicated. Bonding is a cosmetic procedure done to restore the shape and color of teeth. Dr. Julio Hernandez is a cosmetic dentist with over 25 years of experience that does cosmetic bonding of teeth.

The cosmetic bonding of anterior teeth requires the use of several shades of composite resin materials that are layered in distinct ways to replicate the color and shape of natural teeth. At Biscayne Dental & Facial Aesthetics, Dr. Julio uses only the best quality dental materials that are rated best-in-class by an independent research company. This ensures that his patients receive only the best treatment currently available on the market.

Teeth Bonding Costs

When considering which cosmetic dental procedure is right for you, the cost is always a factor. Compared to other cosmetic dental procedure that would give a similar result, bonding is far less expensive. The cost of tooth bonding is roughly one third the cost of a porcelain crown or veneer. However, although the cost is less, the procedure does not usually last as long as a porcelain restoration.

Essential Care Tips for Your Bonded Teeth

Once the anterior teeth are bonded they should look and feel like your natural teeth. No one should ever know your teeth are bonding because the look is so beautiful and realistic. To keep your bonded teeth looking great, you should follow a few simple suggestions. Avoid biting into hard objects or biting your fingernails. Opening things with your teeth or holding pen caps between your teeth should also be avoided. To keep the bonding from staining, use a whitening toothpaste and be sure to rinse your mouth after drinking dark liquids like wine or coffee. Finally, be sure to visit your dentist or hygienist regularly to keep your pearly whites, white!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can tooth bonding fix large gaps between teeth?

Tooth bonding is excellent for correcting small to moderate gaps between teeth. For very large gaps, orthodontic treatment (braces or aligners) or porcelain veneers might be more suitable for optimal and long-lasting results.

Is there any recovery time after tooth bonding?

One of the significant advantages of tooth bonding is that there is virtually no recovery time. You can resume your normal activities immediately after the procedure. Some patients might experience slight sensitivity for a day or two, but this usually subsides quickly.

Do bonded teeth feel natural?

Yes, once the bonding material is sculpted, hardened, and polished, it is designed to blend seamlessly with your natural tooth structure. While your tongue might detect a slight difference initially, most patients quickly adjust, and the bonded tooth feels natural within a short period.

Who is a good candidate for tooth bonding?

Good candidates for tooth bonding typically have minor cosmetic dental concerns such as small chips, cracks, discoloration, minor gaps between teeth, or irregularly shaped teeth. Patients should have good overall oral health with no active gum disease or significant decay.
