What is composite resin bonding?
Dental practices in the area of New York, NY use a wide range of materials in dental restorations. Composite resin bonding is a material that is not only biocompatible with the body, but can provide fast and natural-looking repairs to the teeth. Composite resin bonding is often used to cover or disguise teeth that are:
- Gapped
- Discolored
- Unusually shaped
- Chipped
- Cracked
- Worn
What can I expect during my appointment for the placement of composite resin bonding?
When patients visit Gallery 57 Dental for composite resin bonding, they often want to learn about the entire process before they start. Initially, our team of dentists will evaluate a patient to determine if they are a good candidate for this treatment. Then, the teeth are prepared. The surfaces of the treated tooth will be filed down and roughened to ensure the resin bonding can adhere properly. The material is placed on the tooth, shaped, and then cured with a specialized light that hardens the resin. Then, the dentist will file and polish the tooth and bonding to create the finished look.
How long will my restoration last?
Composite resin bonding is susceptible to staining, which often requires it to be replaced after several years. However, this method of treatment is extremely affordable and a wonderful option for patients seeking an economical solution to improving the aesthetics of their smile.
