· A white plastic resin material, called composite resin, is what is used for dental bonding.
· Dental bonding, also called cosmetic bonding, can fix a variety of dental issues including masking stained teeth or teeth with pits, craze lines, or other imperfections; lengthening worn teeth; closing spaces between teeth; fixing misshapen teeth; repairing broken teeth or teeth with chips and cracks.
· Composite bonding treatments can last anywhere from three to ten years.
· More than one tooth can be bonded in one visit. However, if several teeth need bonding your dentist may schedule you for two visits.
· A single tooth can be bonded in 30 to 60 minutes.
· Cosmetic bonding is an affordable dental treatment ranging in cost from $100 to $500 per tooth.
· Cosmetic bonding is a non-invasive and easy treatment that involves:
o Etching the tooth enamel to make it rough so the composite binds effectively
o Treating the etched teeth with a conditioner
o Placing the resin material on the tooth
o Curing the resin composite with an ultraviolet light and becomes one with your tooth
