What is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding in Antalya, Turkey is a leading cosmetic procedure that is full of restorative benefits. Using composite resins, Dr. Guray Uysal and his team of professional dentists can repair your chipped front teeth or hide minor aesthetic defects. Composite resins for bonding cracked teeth actually stick with your teeth changing shape.
Direct composite bonding is used to recreate a smile in an additive manner, where little or no tooth reduction is needed. Direct bonding, in the hands of a skilled operator, is less costly than porcelain veneers and crowns and can be long-lasting with proper maintenance.
Who is a Good Candidate for Tooth Bonding?
Bonding is a perfect solution for treating minor cosmetic flaws. At your preliminary consultation, you will see exactly how dental bonding is applicable to you. Candidates for this procedure usually have good oral health, but their smile needs corrections because teeth are chipped, discolored, crooked, gapped or misaligned.
Patients can opt for transitional bonding that is used for anything from a mock-up to a full-mouth rehabilitation. The transitional bonding allows the patients to transition into more permanent dentistry as they can afford.
Dental bonding is particularly effective in children and teenagers. Their teeth are not matured yet, so more permanent methods of dental treatment are not recommended. It is also helpful for people who wear braces, which usually lead to new gaps and crowding.
Advantages of Dental Bonding
Dental bonding has many other benefits that help improve our patients’ health:
- Cosmetic bonding is a patient-friendly procedure that can be recommended for children, youth and adults. The procedure can help to prevent dental issues at the earliest stage.
- Tooth bonding costs can be several times less than other dental procedures, like dental surgery. Plus, bonding is painless, so there is no need to use anesthesia.
- Your tooth is polished only in the area where resins are applied. Composite resins are laid directly on your tooth, so laboratory customizing is not necessary.
- Bonding materials have the same color as your tooth, so your restored teeth will look natural. The procedure can restore your smile in just one visit.
A key element of attracting patients to Dr. Guray Uysal’s clinic is the strong testimonials we receive, along with our high-quality services alongside the best dental health care practices.
Dental Bonding Procedure
Cosmetic bonding processes usually last no longer than an hour, unless you want to restore more than one tooth at a time. During your appointment with Dr. Guray Uysal, you will undergo the following steps:
- Consultation – before starting the procedure, our dentists will find the best-suited shade of bonding materials. These should be of the same color as your current teeth. In the event that your smile needs whitening, it is better to whiten before bonding. Otherwise, the cosmetic resins will have a different color from your natural teeth.
- Preparation – the restoring tooth will be isolated from others with special dental strips that don’t permit the resin to bond with adjacent teeth. Then, the tooth surface will be etched with a special acid solution to make it rough enough to start the procedure. To increase resin adherence, the tooth will also be cleaned with a conditioning liquid, providing the highest standards in dental care.
- Bonding – once preparation is complete, some amount of bonding material will be put onto your tooth using a professional dental tool. Then, the material will be molded and shaped to create an ideal form of your tooth. It may be necessary to apply several layers of the composite resin to ensure the best length and thickness.
- Polishing – this phase is important to create the right shape of the restored tooth. The dental strips will be removed and the applied material will be polished with a fine dental drill. Polishing is completed only when the bonding material looks like a natural part of your tooth.
Material
Composite resins are a durable blend of glass and plastic, applicable for restoring the shape of teeth and avoiding further loss of your tooth. If you have such problems as sensitive root canals, worn, or fractured teeth, however, Dr. Guray Uysal may offer to use bonded porcelains, instead.
Composite resins have the shape of your natural tooth and can adhere by actually bonding the dentin and enamel of the tooth.
The proper material allows for the preservation of as much healthy tooth structure as possible. Unlike porcelains, composite resins do not need laboratory fabrication, so your tooth restoration can be finished by our experienced dentists and Dr. Guray Uysal in one appointment.
