Cosmetic bonding and what it involves
Cosmetic bonding is a dental job that involves the use of a material known as dental composite; it is used to improve the appearance of a person’s smile by filling in chips, creating white fillings, replacing metal amalgam fillings and re-shaping the existing teeth.
The most common use for cosmetic bonding is white fillings; many people prefer to have white fillings because they look more natural and are much less visible than metal fillings when the person opens their mouth. Cosmetic bonding is suitable for restoring teeth that have small or medium sized cavities but it is not suitable for filling large cavities and when root canals are necessary your dentists will be able to advise. During the procedure, the dentist will remove any decayed tissue from the tooth and then remove traces of bacteria by cleaning the cavity thoroughly; they will then fill the cavity using dental composite material, which will then start to harden; some dentists use a blue light to increase the speed at which the composite hardens.
Cosmetic bonding is also commonly used by many dentists in London to fill in small chips in the teeth; many people have chips in their teeth, which could have been caused by a trip or fall, by impact with a hard object or surface or as a result of eating a particularly hard food. Chips in the teeth are usually not serious and don’t cause any medical problems but filling in the chip can make the smile look much more attractive and this will in turn, boost people’s confidence and make them feel better about the way they look. The procedure is very simple and quick and it doesn’t hurt at all.
