What is dental bonding and who is it suitable for?
id: 10041628

If human teeth could regenerate at least half as rapidly as a lizard's tail, the need for dentists could be greatly reduced. But, unfortunately, this is not the case. Abnormal shape and size, chips, cracks, and other mechanical defects greatly reduce the functionality of the teeth, and stains, darkening, carious shells and hard deposits significantly worsen their appearance.

The presence of such defects causes a lot of problems, but modern dentistry has a number of highly effective methods for dealing with them. Bonding is one of the most popular and in demand.
What it is?
Bonding is a technology for restoring the physical, functional and aesthetic properties of teeth. It consists in the layer-by-layer application of a composite light-curing material to problem areas of the tooth. With the help of bonding, you can restore the size, shape, color of the tooth, that is, improve its aesthetic characteristics. The procedure does not require significant financial and time costs, and the result of it is stored for 7-10 years. However, it should be understood that it largely depends on the qualifications of the dentist, so it is advisable to do bonding only in proven clinics.
Below is a list of the most common problems that bonding helps to deal with:
too small tooth size (compared to the rest in the row);
cracks, chips, carious shells;
gum recession, wedge-shaped defects arising from this or other reasons;
abnormally large interdental space;
pathological changes in color or shade that cannot be corrected with bleaching;
irregular shape of teeth that breaks aesthetic harmony or reduces their functionality.
