Bonding

Bonding is to repair teeth quickly and painlessly. It applies to the plastic tooth paste, called composite resin, which hardens to light.

These materials can be tinted to match the color of natural teeth. The composite resins can be profiled and shaped to resemble the missing part of a chipped tooth. They can be applied to a tooth stained and make a fractured tooth intact and without blemish. They can even be used to increase the size of the teeth so as to reduce or eliminate the spaces between them.

The procedure of Bonding:

Step 1: The dentist applies on a slight dent etching solution that will make rough enamel and facilitate the accession of the composite resin.

Step 2: Mixes the composite resin and dyed to marry the natural color of teeth.

Step 3: It applies the composite resin in several layers.

Step 4: Each layer is cured (or cured) in the light as applications.

Step 5: When the last layer has hardened, the resin is shaped and polished so that the tooth restored to its natural appearance.

Advantages of Bonding

The technique requires little time. Several teeth can usually be covered in one visit.
In general, as drilling is minimal, local anesthesia is not necessary.
Before the direct recovery, the crowns were the only way to improve the appearance of chipped teeth, widely spaced or yellowed. Facets prosthetic cost much less than the crowns. They require much less drilling they and particularly suited to improve the appearance of teeth that are otherwise healthy.
This technique can be used for children, since clad materials can be removed and replaced when their teeth have reached their maturity.
 

Disadvantages

Tobacco, coffee, tea, blueberry, grape juice, cherries and red wine can stain certain composite resins.
If the seal between the tooth and the material is plated is not waterproof, caries can develop in the composite resin.
Direct recovery is months long as the crowns. It has a life of 5 to 10 years compared to 10 to 20 years for crowns.
