Cosmetic Bonding
Among all the options in cosmetic dentistry, cosmetic bonding is one of the most versatile. Dr. Chad L. Follis uses dental bonding for procedures ranging from veneers to fillings for Nashville, Tennessee area patients.
What is Dental Bonding?
Cosmetic bonding is a tooth-colored, composite resin material that comes in several consistencies and many shades of white. In a thinner consistency it is used to attach porcelain veneers and porcelain crowns. In thicker consistencies it may be used alone to solve dental issues, such as:
Dental Bonding as Veneers
Cosmetic bonding can also be used as an alternative to porcelain veneers. However, the life expectancy of cosmetic bonding is less than that of porcelain veneers or porcelain crowns, because it is not as strong and has a tendency to stain.
Dental Bonding to Close a Gap
There is generally no need for anesthetic when using dental bonding to close a gap between teeth. Your original teeth will usually not need to be shaped much, if at all, to allow space for the dental bonding. Dr. Follis simply fills in the gap by applying dental bonding to either side and polishing it to blend in with your natural tooth.
Fillings with Dental Bonding
Dr. Follis uses dental bonding in white fillings, because unlike metal fillings, it does not have the risk of future infection or of cracking the tooth. Since dental bonding matches the shade of your teeth so closely, your white fillings look much more natural.
Leave the Office Feeling Normal
The lack of anesthetic during a dental bonding procedure prevents you from feeling numb when leaving your appointment. Dental bonding also hardens very quickly, because your cosmetic dentist cures it with a special light after it has been shaped just right and you have looked in a mirror and approved of it. When you leave the office, you should be able to eat, talk, and do other routine things without any worry about giving your dental bonding time to set.
