Composite bonding is widely recognized as an effective technique in cosmetic dentistry. The treatment involves the use of a type of dental materials such as composite resin, which will be molded and shaped on your teeth to achieve the appearance of whiter and straighter teeth. What’s more, composite bonding can be used as a cosmetic solution for missing teeth. It is different from porcelain veneer placement procedures as it can be completed during one appointment. At Arcadia Dental, not only can we replace missing teeth, but we can handle staining in both fillings and teeth, gapped teeth and chipped teeth as well. We are the experts of cosmetic dentistry in Franklin you can trust.
First of all, composite bonding is not invasive. As the procedure does not require any kind of slicing, cutting or any other procedure that can be scary, you can expect that it entails a quick and painless experience. This dental procedure is designed to preserve healthy tooth material. Veneers and crowns, on the other hand, are procedures that will trim off a considerable amount of tooth enamel.
Just as long as the area that’s need to be treated does not have any major decay inside, our dentist can cover it without needing to remove any tooth material. Some minor etching is to be expected. Composite bonding treatment certainly offers a wide variety of benefits, but we would like to cut it short by informing you that you can get them mixed to match your teeth’s color. We can blend the composite resin and achieve a color that is as close to the actual color of your teeth as possible. These are the things that make bonding so esthetically pleasing and subtle.
You will be pleased to know that modern composite materials are tough enough to last without needing regular attention from you; simply perform normal care. Also, you will not need to meet your dentist for frequent special visits and upkeep. However, adhering to the basic practice of visiting your dentist once every six months is highly recommended. Don’t forget about daily oral care as well. It is recommended that you also use mouthwashes after brushing so you can improve your gum strength. After completing the procedure, try to avoid hard foods such as ice. Hard foods can cause premature cracking.
You can rest assured that composite bonding is a safe and effective technique that was developed more than five decades ago. You can be sure that dentists have perfected the technique over the years, since it became widely available. Today’s processes and fillings are very efficient, making it easier for both your dentist and you.
Composite bonding treatment itself often begins by removing some of your surface enamel. This allows your dentist to effectively shape the composite resin to your tooth. Once done, the bonding agent will be applied. After the application, the composite resin is added, and then cured with a special light. The procedure will then be completed.
The process often requires a dentist who has vast experience and specialty in this area. At Arcadia Dental, you can trust that our Franklin team is able to execute a high level of techniques to ensure a natural mold and shape.
You should note that composite bonding treatment is not for everyone. If your smile is crooked as the result of an underbite or overbite, this treatment isn’t made to correct that. Instead, it’s highly recommended that you speak with our dentist to determine the best course of action for adjusting bites or other complex gaps or chips in your teeth. Simply put, composite bonding is mainly for patients who seek a cosmetic solution to achieve healthy teeth
