What is Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic dental bonding is the application of a tooth-colored composite resin (plastic) to repair a decayed, chipped, fractured or discolored tooth. They are manufactured in a laboratory and require a customized mold to achieve a proper fit, bonding can be done in a single visit. The procedure is called bonding because of the material bonds to the tooth.
Cosmetic Bonding is your solution for small chipped on your front tooth or perhaps when you have a small gap between your teeth and wanted to enhance your smile without doing veneers.
Cosmetic bonding can be done in a 1-2 hour appointment depending on how many teeth are involved. Photos will be taken before we start to assess color shape and discuss goals at our Phung Tran Dental clinic in Footscray. To perform a cosmetic enhancement procedure, we will need to take measurements of the teeth and discuss shape and harmony for your face. Majority of times a combination of different composites are used to achieve the best shade, colours, translucency and natural appearance. As not all teeth are just white.
After applying your dental composite, we check its contour and adjust it to your bite. Out dental practitioners then use a series of polishers to create a lifelike luster. In many cases of broken front teeth, care must be taken with eating to ensure that the composite filling doesn’t break. If we perform cosmetic dental bonding due to lost tooth structure after grinding, a night mouthguard will be recommended to be worn nightly. Composite bondings can last for years as long as care is taken and upkeep is performed. Your dental care as well as your bite will determine its longevity.Contact Phung Tran Dental Clinic in Footscray today to discuss your options for cosmetic bonding or alternative dental solutions today.
