Cosmetic Tooth Bonding Boston |
|
Composite
bonding is the most versatile and effective way to aesthetically
restore your smile. Composite materials are used to replace old
unattractive fillings, change the color of your teeth, or
reshape and recontour a less than ideal smile. Composite resin
is a tooth-colored plastic mixture filled with glass (silicon
dioxide). Composite fillings have a slightly higher rate of wear
than your traditional silver fillings. Pictured here is a
dramatic example of what Cosmetic Bonding can do for relatively
little cost. |

Most procedures
take as little as 10 to 15 minutes per tooth, depending on how
complicated your particular treatment may be. At your actual bonding
appointment, the dentist will use a mild acid to condition the
surface of the tooth so the composite will adhere to it. Next, the
dentist applies several layers of the bonding material onto the
tooth, then uses a light source to set the material. The last step
is shaping, smoothing, and polishing the surfaces. |

Daily hygiene
may require more detailed flossing to clean edges at the gum
line. As with your natural teeth, cosmetically bonded teeth may
chip or stain. A bonded restoration should last 5 to 10 years or
more before requiring a touch-up or replacement. The procedure
is painless and quick enough to be completed in one visit. |
