What Is Direct Bonding?
Direct bonding, sometimes referred to as dental bonding or cosmetic bonding, is a process that involves carefully covering up aesthetic flaws in select teeth using a tooth-colored composite resin, which is the same material that’s used in dental fillings. The resin is carefully shade-matched to blend in with your natural teeth, and it’s also biocompatible and durable enough to withstand regular eating and drinking. Some of the most common issues that direct bonding is used to address include things like chipped or cracked teeth, dental stains that do not respond to whitening, small gaps between the teeth, and many more.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Direct Bonding?
Ultimately, the best way to find out whether you’re a good candidate for direct bonding is by scheduling a consultation with us! That said, you may be a good candidate for direct bonding if you fit any of the following criteria:
- You’re self-conscious about minor flaws in your smile – Dental bonding is ideal for correcting smaller aesthetic issues; for dramatic changes, something like a smile makeover might be needed.
- Your teeth and gums are healthy – If you have cavities, gum disease, or other untreated oral health issues, you’ll need to undergo treatment beforehand. A patient must have a healthy smile prior to receiving cosmetic dentistry.
- You’re looking for a quick and affordable solution – The convenience of direct bonding makes it attractive to many patients. It’s fast, it’s cost-effective, and the results speak for themselves.
