Composite Bonding/Sculpting
you may want to consider bonding. During this quick process (usually less than an
hour), a mild composite resin is applied to the tooth. It is then sculpted to match
surrounding teeth and hardened using an ultra-violet light creating an
undetectable restoration.
Change Your Teeth's Size, Shape & Colour in
Just 1 Appointment
Composite compose of a natural-looking resin, is long lasting and very affordable
comparing to other tooth-coloured materials. Since very little or no tooth
structure is reduced, these procedures are very conservative and pretty much
reversable.
Working with composite to produce an undetectable restoration requires extra skill
and time. To copy a natural looking restoration often
requires single to multi-layer techniques.
Composite is very easy to work with and is known for its bonding and sculpting abilities.
In bonding and sculpting we can literally change your teeth's size, shape and colour
in just ONE appointment! Composite Bonding is the big dental secret that not
many people know of. We can literally repair any chip or defect with this magic
material!
Contouring
Many times we can simply remove or polish some enamel(enamel plasty) away
if teeth are too wide, too long or simply uneven.
Care is taken to stay within the 'safe' parameters and to still leave enough
enamel intact. This can easily provide sufficient correction to
change the smile to a more harmonious and 'even' look! Most esthetic
procedures will involve to some extent some contouring.
Closing Gaps
Another useful application is the closure of gaps (diastemas) between front teeth.
Most of the time NO local anesthetic is needed and existing enamel is left
untouched. Many patients have gaps between their front teeth and
are unaware of just how easy it is to create an amazing smile!
As in the photo, the gap (diastema) was closed in just 1 visit!
Repairs
Due to the amazing properties of Composite, composite bonding can be used
to repair almost any chip, crack or defect on teeth or existing dental work!
Full Resin Veneers
When the whole front surface of a tooth needs te be replaced to create a better
colour or shape, the term resin veneer is used. Resin veneers are amazing in
creating an easy makeover and can look very similar to porcelain veneers.
