With one appointment, you can see a big cosmetic improvement to your smile. Your dentist can use composite resin, the material used to craft dental fillings, in order to cover up appearance flaws. This is what is known as a dental bonding procedure. The material is applied in order to hide problems like damage, discoloration, or problems with tooth shape. The resin material is lifelike enough to ensure your smile still looks totally natural. This can be particularly useful for correcting problems that stem from damage after a minor injury, but naturally occurring issues can often be addressed as well.
Questions:
True Or False: A dental bonding treatment involves the application of composite resin to your tooth, a material your dentist will also use to craft your dental fillings.
True Or False: You can use a conventional teeth whitening treatment or dental bonding to address discoloration caused by an injury.
True Or False: Porcelain veneers and dental bonding can both be used to address a range of flaws, but veneers are easier to preserve because you can remove them before eating.
Answers:
True! Composite resin has cosmetic and restorative benefits. The material looks enough like your enamel to improve how you look, and it is durable enough to be useful as a dental filling.
False! After some tooth injuries, the tooth will produce more dentin, which will dull its color. A whitening treatment will not be able to help, but you may be able to make the tooth’s color match its neighbors again with a bonding treatment.
False! Veneers are not removable once they are placed.
