Unlike other cosmetic procedures, it usually only requires one visit. The procedure is relatively quick and painless, with no need for anesthesia or drilling.

Dental bonding is a non-invasive procedure, meaning that it does not require any removal of tooth structure. This makes it a great option for those who are hesitant about more invasive procedures.

The resin used in bonding material is tooth-colored, making it blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. This results in a natural-looking smile that is not obvious to others.

As mentioned earlier, dental bonding can address a variety of cosmetic dental issues. This makes it a versatile option for those looking to improve the appearance of their teeth.

How Long Does Dental Bonding Last?

With proper care, dental bonding can last up to 9 years. This makes it a long-lasting and cost-effective option for those looking to enhance their smile.

The Process:

The process is relatively quick and painless. Here is what you can expect during your appointment:

  • Select: The first step, is selecting a resin color that matches your natural teeth.
  • Prepare: Then, we will roughen your tooth and apply a conditioning liquid to help the resin bond to the tooth.
  • Apply: Next, we will apply the resin and mold it into the desired shape. And, we will use a special light to harden the resin, bonding it to the tooth.
  • Polish: After the resin hardens, we will trim, shape, and polish it to match the rest of the tooth’s surface. This ensures a natural-looking result.

The entire process usually takes between 30 minutes to an hour per tooth, depending on the complexity of the case.

Dental Bonding vs Veneers

Dental bonding involves applying a tooth-colored resin on a tooth and shaping it to look like the other teeth. Veneers are thin porcelain shells that are custom-made to fit over the front surface of the tooth.

Dental bonding is best for repairing minor chips, cracks, or gaps in the teeth. In addition to this, they can also improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth. Veneers address more extensive cosmetic issues, such as severely stained teeth, crookedness, or uneven spacing between teeth.

Porcelain veneers are generally more durable and stain-resistant than dental bonding. While dental bonding can last several years with proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10-20 years or longer.

Dental bonding is a relatively quick and non-invasive procedure. In addition to this, it typically only takes one visit. However, veneers require more extensive preparation like removing a thin layer of enamel from the tooth. The procedure can take two or more dental visits depending on the case.

The choice between dental bonding and veneers will depend on the specific dental issues you wish to address. In addition, your budget, and your dentist’s recommendation are also factors when choosing the procedure that is right for you. But to do this, you need to choose the right cosmetic dentist.
