In the past, tooth problems like cavities or other trauma only had one viable treatment option; metal or amalgam fillings. Thankfully, advances in the science of dentistry have led to the development of resin compounds that, when bonded to your tooth by one of our Mississauga dentists, provide a durable filling with a much more natural appearance. Composite restorations can typically be applied within a single appointment to our Mississauga dental office and offer a viable alternative to metal fillings in many cases.
Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure where composite resin (filling material) is used to cover cracks, gaps, decay, or damaged teeth for a more even smile. This process is less invasive than metal fillings, but a little more complicated. This appointment is done in one visit to our Mississauga dental office and usually takes 30-60 minutes per tooth.
Your dentist will start this process by giving you a local anesthetic to numb that particular area in your mouth. Then the dentist isolates your tooth from the saliva to dry it out and drill out the infected or cavity part of the tooth to eliminate the decay. After that, your Mississauga dentist will apply the composite resin that matches the colour of your teeth to the areas needed. A curing light is used to set the material. After filling the tooth, the composite is formed to look like your tooth.
Dental bonding procedures are performed by an expert dentist who is well experienced in restorative processes. They are guaranteed to make you satisfied with your new smile.
Bonded fillings offer many aesthetic and functional benefits:
There are a few basic care steps to follow after a Bonded Filling procedure:
Dental bonding is the most suitable solution for people who have healthy teeth that have minor tooth issues: chipped, cracked or discolored teeth can be fixed with bonded fillings. This procedure is for people who want to improve the appearance of their tooth, gaps, or smile.
If you need to cover an uncovered tooth root, then you can opt for Dental Bonding. However, you are not a candidate if your bite is inappropriately aligned or requires adjustment, or if there is not sufficient material remaining in your natural tooth.
