Teeth bonding

If so, teeth bonding may the perfect solution for you. When you visit us at BrightCraft Dental and Laser, we can use a resin to cover or rebuild the damaged areas so you can regain your beautiful smile.
What is dental bonding?
Dental bonding, also known as composite bonding or cosmetic bonding or teeth bonding, is a fast, easy and minimally-invasive procedure that fixes numerous dental issues such as teeth that are slightly chipped, cracked or discolored that it cannot be whitened by any other means.
It essentially involves the use of composite resin in addressing different problems. Composite resin is a very durable and flexible material we use to create dramatic improvements to even the most challenging of smiles. This treatment is called bonding because the composite resin material bonds to your tooth.
However, note that if your smile is crooked because of problems with your bite and jawline, this treatment won’t correct it. A visit to our office will help you determine the right dental treatment for you.

What is the process for teeth bonding?
✓ The entire procedure for teeth bonding is fast and simple, especially when compared to other dental treatments like veneers and crowns. It takes around 30 minutes to 1 hour to complete one tooth.
✓ To start the process, you will first have a consultation with us to discuss your aesthetic goals. We may also carry out a physical examination of your mouth to determine if bonding is the best choice for your needs.
✓ If dental bonding is right for you, we use cosmetic resin that’s color-matched to the shade you desire and mold it to the shape of your tooth. Depending on your case, we may use it to cover discolored or misshapen tooth or use it to replace your missing tooth.
✓ Once you approve the appearance of the resin on your tooth, we harden it with a special high-intensity curing light. Finally, we polish the bonded tooth.

How long will teeth bonding last?
Dental bonding is a simple yet long-lasting procedure. How long it lasts depends on how well you care for it but, on average, it lasts about 3-10 years. To increase the longevity of the bonding, patients are advised to refrain from chewing ice and maintain regular oral healthcare.
Is tooth bonding painful?
Tooth bonding is a painless procedure, especially when done by a highly skilled dentist. While it is normal to experience sensitivity hours after the procedure, you shouldn’t feel pain during the procedure.
