What Is Bonding?
The bonding application, which is carried out by adhering composite filling materials to the tooth, falls within the scope of preventive dentistry. The word bonding, which has a meaning such as bringing together or establishing a bond in English, allows us to fill the small gaps between two teeth and to restore damaged teeth to their ideal form. The basic building block of the bonding application is composite filling material. The gaps between the teeth are filled with this material. As a result, the teeth have an aesthetic appearance. The bonding application is applied to bruised, sunken, and deformed teeth and to the gaps between teeth. Bonding, which is foremost among the easiest and most popular methods among aesthetic dentistry applications, largely contributes to the person's smile.
How Is Bonding Done?
In bonding treatment, the substance to be used in the application is first prepared. Thanks to the composite filling material, bonding becomes an easily applicable and low-cost treatment. The composite filling material can be transformed into the desired shape and polished while it is being prepared. It is generally used on discolored and chipped teeth. Composite bonding filling is applied to make the teeth look longer, to transform the shape of the tooth into the desired form, and to fill the gaps between the teeth.
Before bonding treatment, the most suitable color of composite substance is selected together with the dentist. After the color is decided, the tooth to which the treatment will be applied is roughened. In this way, the bonding material becomes long-lasting and durable. Then the microfilm areas on the tooth are polished. An adhesive substance called adhesive is applied to the areas where the filling will be adhered. In some cases, it is fixed using UV rays or laser to increase permanence. After the necessary checks are made, the shaping of the teeth begins. The bonding material has a paste consistency and begins to harden and take shape the moment it is applied to the tooth surface. In the final stage, polishing is done in order to give a more natural appearance and to increase the durability of the bonding. During bonding, the patient does not feel any pain. In many cases, anesthesia application is not needed. If you feel any discomfort, your dentist can apply local anesthesia.
