Cosmetic Dental Bonding Treatment

Generally speaking the term "tooth bonding" refers to a range of dental procedures each of which is similar in the sense that it employs the use of a type of dental restorative dentists call "dental composite."

As a material dental composite has a number of characteristics that a dentist can exploit when it is put to use. One of them is the way it creates a strong bond with calcified tooth tissues (meaning tooth dentin and enamel). Another is its color. Dental composite comes in a variety of tooth-colored shades so when it is placed it can closely mimic the appearance of natural tooth structure.

What are some of the uses of tooth bonding?

Tooth bonding can be used for a variety of purposes ranging from dental procedures that just address cosmetic concerns, to those that replace lost tooth structure (such as that lost due to tooth decay or fracture), to those procedures that provide a combination of both of these functions.

Cosmetic tooth bonding

Dental bonding can be used to create cosmetic enhancements for teeth.

Cosmetic tooth bonding can be used to create dental veneers for teeth.

Dentists can place a veneering of dental bonding over the front side of teeth that have become stained or discolored as a way of enhancing their cosmetic appearance.

Cosmetic tooth bonding can be used to close a gap (diastema) that lies between two teeth.

Tooth bonding can be used to fill in gaps that lie between a person's teeth (dentists call this type of gap a "diastema"). When this technique is employed, dental composite is bonded onto the sides of the two teeth that lie on either side of the gap, so to widen each tooth slightly. The net effect is that the space between the two teeth is narrowed, or even filled in completely.

Cosmetic tooth bonding can be used reshape and realign teeth.

Minor to moderate cosmetic imperfections of chipped, disfigured, or misaligned teeth can be masked or corrected by placing dental bonding.
