Keeping your smile healthy and free of issues like tooth decay and gum disease are ample rewards for maintaining good dental health. However, taking pride in your smile’s appearance is also important, though for some patients, good hygiene and preventive care isn’t always enough to keep up that appearance. Fortunately, you have several convenient and highly customizable options for improving your smile’s appearance, and cosmetic tooth bonding is often one of the most popular ones. Today, we examine why by exploring just a few of the most beneficial aspects of the procedure.
The material is highly biocompatible
Bonding a tooth means that your dentist applies a small amount of customized, tooth-colored composite resin to the surface of your tooth. The resin is tinted to match the specific shade and color of your tooth, and it’s also biocompatible enough to be strongly bonded to the tooth’s surface. This means that your tooth bonding will not only improve your smile’s appearance but also help you preserve the beautiful, healthy, natural tooth structure that still remains unblemished.
Bonding a tooth fixes multiple issues
While it’s ability to match and improve your tooth’s appearance makes bonding effective, it’s ability to address multiple types of issues is one of the more significant reasons why it’s so popular. Patients who have stubborn tooth discoloration, chipped or worn edges, large spaces between teeth, and more can all benefit from a custom-designed tooth bonding treatment. In some cases, your dentist may combine tooth bonding with conservative tooth contouring, or the process of gently sculpting your tooth structure, for optimal cosmetic results.
The entire procedure is minimally invasive
In addition to making you proud of your smile, cosmetic treatment also focuses on preserving and improving your long-term oral health. In the case of cosmetic tooth bonding, your dentist can address your smile concerns without drastically altering your natural tooth structure. This allows your tooth to retain its strength and durability while supporting the resin that is bonded to its structure.
