5 Reasons to Choose Cosmetic Dental Bonding Treatment

Where smiling is concerned, the teeth make all the difference. The smallest change in alignment and colour of your teeth will affect the beauty of your smile. But since technology is now the order of the day, it has provided us with treatments like cosmetic composite bonding in London to solve some dental problems.

Here are some reasons why cosmetic dental bonding may be a reasonable choice for you. But before we go into that, let us take a little look at this dental bonding.

What is cosmetic dental bonding?

This is a procedure in which a composite resin material coloured just like the tooth is applied to the teeth and hardened with the use of LED (curing) light. The end product makes your smile look better.

Dental bonding, like other dental procedures, has its pros and cons. Before we carry out any dental procedure or surgery, we educate the patients about these significant effects and its aftercare. When they have enough information, we help them get through with the process. The same applies to cosmetic dental bonding.

However, there are more benefits of cosmetic dental bonding compared to dental crowns or veneers. Patients with minor dental issues will benefit more from dental bonding.

We would love you to read further to find out the benefits of cosmetic dental bonding as we have compiled for you.

1. It is cost-effective
   Many people consider this to be the most significant benefit; the cost-effectiveness.
   
   Back in the days, there was less number of people caring for their dental health compared to their physical health. However, the story differs now. Many people troop into the dental clinic so, it is essential for dental treatments like this to be cheap so that people can benefit from it.
   
   Just as teeth whitening are generally affordable, dental bonding is also very economical, even more than the dental crowns and veneers. Also, a massive part of the cost is covered by many dental insurance policies.
   
   
2. It is not time-consuming
   Compared to dental crowns or veneers, this procedure takes lesser time. In just one appointment, you can get your bonding on and get back home with a new smile. So, if you do not have so much time on your side, dental bonding may be the choice for you.
   
   Also, with cosmetic dental bonding, you do not need to wait for the dental laboratory to prepare you the bonding and model. All this can be done by your dentist right from the office. This procedure simply involves the application of the bonding on each of the tooth receiving the treatment or alignment. This treatment does not require the speciality of an orthodontist.
   
   
3. It is very safe and secure
   In the past, dentists used silver fillings, but these fillings had chemical leaks after a while; these leaks were damaging to the body. Compared to silver fillings, dental bonding uses pure bio-compatible materials. These materials are made from substances that have no tendencies to cause any harm or damage to your body.
   
   Also, the material used for the bonding is directly applied to the teeth and influenced to dry, thereby covering the site and giving no room for germs to enter. This cannot be achieved with the silver filling.
   
   
4. It keeps your enamel
   Using dental bonding on your teeth has no adverse effects on your enamel. This is not so when using veneers for treatments. Also, there is no preparatory work to be done before the bonding is applied. Our dentist at Cosmetic Dentistry Clinic will clean your teeth, place the composite resin on them, and create the new shape.
   
   The procedures will not damage your teeth. You will not also have to dedicate your life to a lifetime of repairs. In the case of veneers, you will need to replace them when the old veneer gets bad since your enamel is already condemned. This is not so with bonding; there is no need for replacement.
   
   
5. The aesthetic aspect Cosmetic dental bonding is a preferred procedure for treating mild dental cases. With your dentist’s assistance, you will be able to choose the most suitable composite resin for your teeth. This will make the end product of the procedure look so much like your natural teeth that even the person looking at your mouth will not be able to spot the difference.
   
   With appropriate use, this bonding material can cover the gaps in your teeth and brighten your smile, thereby making your teeth look aligned and perfect. Dental bonding generally improves your smile; this is why they are widely appreciated.

Cosmetic dental bonding: the aftercare

Though there are no unique methods for caring for your bonded teeth, the following simple tips will help you maintain your bonded teeth in a healthy and long-lasting state.

• Maintain all the necessary tips for oral hygiene. Brush your teeth twice a day and immediately after meals.
• Floss and use a good mouthwash to clean your mouth daily
• Use only fluoridated toothpaste so that it can harden the enamel of your tooth and reduce your risk of having tooth decay.
• Reduce your intake of sugar-based foods as they will increase your risk of tooth decay.
  Reduce the acidic foods and drinks you take. Some of them are cordial, tea, coffee, fruit juices, or soft drinks. The acid in them will cause cavities on your teeth after softening the tooth material.
• Avoid using your teeth to remove bottle caps, break nuts or do other unnecessary duties as they can permanently damage your teeth.
• Stop smoking as it can cause your teeth to discolour and decompose.
• Keep up with your routine dental check-ups.

With the information above, you can now see why dental composite bonding London is an excellent option for treating mild dental cases.
