Bonding treatment stands under the field of aesthetic dentistry and smile design. The process of bonding treatment is performed with the help of a white filling material which we put into an exercise in order to treat tooth cavities and the best description of it is basically some small aesthetic touches that are mostly applied to the front teeth.
A bonding treatment can be used in order to obtain highly satisfactory results for eliminating small defects that do not require porcelain veneer, repairing tooth fractures, regularizing the spaces between the teeth, solving many aesthetic and effective problems such as tooth discoloration caused by trauma.
Since bonding is particularly preferred due to its being harmless for teeth and the application of it causes a low level of superficial abrasion, it is evaluated within the scope of preventive dentistry.
We cannot simply consider bonding as the best method used in dentistry due to its short-termed service life, however, it can be a practical and economical solution if it is applied to the right tooth, for the right purposes and with good craftsmanship. We can both do a good job aesthetically and, with its help, create and maintain oral health.
If you wish, firstly, let’s clarify what bonding means before moving on to the advantages and disadvantages of bonding treatment. With its dental term composite filling application in the dental literature, the common name of the aesthetic restoration application in which the filling material is stuck to the tooth is Bonding.
Bonding is known as an aesthetic filling application all over the world as a valid dentistry technique in eliminating small defects of intact teeth that no tooth replacement or coating is required.
Applied with the purpose of ensuring the aesthetic integrity of teeth separately or in harmony with each other, bonding dental treatment is a composite filling application. By using the filling material that is chosen with regards to the natural color of the teeth, they are reshaped without cutting.
By the means of bonding dental application, the disorders of the color, shape and size of the teeth, their distance from each other and array can be easily eliminated in order to create the smile aesthetics.
Without excepting the upper and lower jaw, bonding is an aesthetic filling procedure which is applied to the front teeth. We can say that this treatment is mostly applied for enlarging, lengthening, closing or reshaping the front tooth gaps of small front teeth.
Depending on the usage and also over time alongside the effects of aging, the color of teeth turns yellow, their array and shape may deteriorate. Small and short teeth cause the mouth to look old, and in some people, the length of the tooth is short from birth. Some damages such as teeth discoloration that appeared after an accident or broken teeth can both impair the aesthetics of your smile and cause various disturbances while eating.
Even though bonding is mostly applied in order to create aesthetic restoration, it is also one of the techniques that we generally use for preserving dental health and obtaining comfort in chewing.
Bonding often does not even require anesthesia and it is an extremely comfortable treatment procedure. Even though the application processes may vary upon the purpose of the treatment, the general bonding procedure is as follows:
Aesthetic examination is also included in this stage. Taking into account the patient’s complaints and aesthetic expectations, the tooth requirements are analyzed. The teeth that the bonding will be applied and the application method is determined in advance.
The material color is determined and for the purposes of obtaining a strong adhesion of the filling fluid, minimal chiseling is applied.
The soft-consistency filling material is bonded on the tooth to be restored, roughly shaped, and then laser treatment is applied in order to harden it and the shaping continues.
While providing that the material is grasping to the tooth in a strong way, the dentist also continues shaping the tooth in an aesthetically determined way.
In order not to cause the bonding to crack with a chewing impact, the jaw closure should be in harmony with the new volume of the teeth.
The bonding is totally hardened after providing this technical and aesthetic harmony and to make sure that all the teeth are in the same tone, the treatment is completed by running a tooth whitening process.
Even if it has been applied in the number one clinic in the world using the best quality materials by the world’s number one dentist, if the necessary care is not given after the application, the effects of the treatment start to fade away.
The patients who are quite satisfied with the results of the bonding application are mostly the people who have displayed the necessary care after.
After the bonding treatment, you can preserve your smile’s beauty and your dental health after many years by following your dentist’s recommendations.
Varying from person to person, the life span of a bonding tooth depends on the way of usage, tooth structure, saliva secretion chemistry, the quality of the applied material to make the bonding, the ability of dentists, how well its craftmanship is, and many other parameters.
Bonding teeth, which have a maximum usage period of 10 years if taken good care of, have a minimum usage period of 6 years. You can prolong the life of bonding by not missing the routine checks, using dental floss, and brushing your teeth long and slowly.
It is unfortunately not possible to give a certain answer to the questions about the cost of the bonding process nor it would be correct to answer, however, we can easily say that the prices are comparatively lower than other aesthetic dental applications.
Each treatment brings different requirements, and personalized planning alongside case-based budgeting is the general principle of dental treatments. In order to give you a general idea, we can say that the cost of bonding treatment tends to be lower than porcelain veneers.
