Composite Resin Bonding or Dental Bonding

Dental bonding, also known as composite resin bonding, makes use of an etching technique to microscopically increase the surface area of a tooth so that the composite materials can easily bond to the tooth structure that needs restoration. This tool of the cosmetic dentist not only allows repair of structural damage but also creates a beautiful, natural result since it can be color matched to your real teeth during the final sculpting.

Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, an expert in his field, often recommends composite resin bonding for chipped, stained, or cracked teeth, and for teeth that need repairing because of decay.

Dental bonding material can be compared to clay that a sculptor uses. The dentist can use the bonding composite resin to literally sculpt beautiful, natural correction for the chips and cracks in the teeth, to fill gaps, recolor or reshape teeth and to correct other unsightly blemishes on the teeth. Bonding can be used in the back teeth as well as in the front of the mouth.

The surface of the exterior of the tooth is readied by applying a thin layer of plastic coating on the tooth. Next the bonding material is placed and the dentist artistically sculpts the new look of the teeth. A high-intensity ultraviolent light then hardens the coating and the dentist finely polishes the surface to give it a natural appearance.

The resin is available in many shades in order to match the color of your other teeth. This material can also be used to fill cavities where possible, so that the filling is not noticed. After the dentist creates a mold and places a temporary filling, dental labs can then create custom-made fillings that are very durable. This is then bonded to the tooth in a second visit to the dentist.
