Dental Bonding Melbourne

 

Do you have a little chip, discoloration, misalignment, or spacing problem on your teeth? A excellent affordable solution can be dental bonding.

Composite bonding is a cosmetic technique wherein a type of dental material, in this case, composite resin, is shaped and moulded on your teeth to give the appearance of a straighter, whiter smile. Your dentist will then add the composite resin, cure it with a special light and finish by polishing your teeth. Because the process involves a high level of technique for a natural mould and shape, it’s best to work with a dentist who has experience in this area.

Dental bonding is one of the most versatile dental treatments that can correct many dental issues. Fast and painless, tooth bonding is the effective, non-invasive – and affordable – way to repair a damaged tooth or for a cosmetic smile enhancement.

 

 

 

 

Advantages of Dental Bonding (aka Composite Veneer)  have over Porcelain Veneer

 

Dentists use composite resin bonding material to fill cavities, but when applied to the front teeth, many doctors and patients refer to this technique as “bonding.”

 

• Composite bonding can be completed on the front teeth as a cost-effective alternative to porcelain veneers.
• The composite resin can be fabricated either by a dentist placing material directly onto a tooth or teeth  to create beautiful veneers.
• Dental Bonding aka Composites veneer  can typically be fabricated in one visit, making it a same-day treatment. The composite procedure therefore tends to be much less invasive and noticeably quicker than porcelain.
• Dental Bonding aka Composites veneer have a number of advantages over porcelain, chief among which is cost. On average, porcelain veneers are twice as expensive as composites, which is very important for some people that are budget conscious.

 

 

Disadvantages of Dental Bonding (aka Composites veneer) have over Porcelain Veneer

 

• Issues or concerns with composite veneers are limited strength of the plastic filling material and its tendency to stain (especially over time) or have pitting on the surface of the veneers caused by air incorporation.
• In addition, the technique sensitivity of the process is high both for the adhesion of the veneer bonding material to the tooth as well as achieving a great cosmetic result. Most dentists tend to use one or perhaps two shades of composite resin with these veneers. The reality is that the best ceramists might utilize over ten different shades of porcelain to alter the hue, value, and chromatic characteristics of high-end veneer restorations. When having composite veneers placed, a mix of available composites possessing different colours, translucencies, and opacities should be correctly incorporated into the restorations to yield an ideal cosmetic result—a technique that most dentists do not care to spend the time to master. Typically, it will take just as much if not more time to correctly place a highly cosmetic direct composite veneer then it would take to have two appointments in which the laboratory would fabricate an all porcelain veneer. The potential for a lower cost composite veneer is often realized in the form of a monochromatic and less aesthetic restoration.
• It’s not uncommon for a patient to get composites as a temporary solution, for a couple years, while they save money for a porcelain upgrade
• Although composite veneers have a number of advantages, there is one area in which they cannot compete with porcelain: durability. Porcelain is a far stronger material than composite resin (even with the improvements in resin materials over the years). Well-maintained porcelain veneers can last 10 to 15 years, compared to the five- to seven-year average lifespan of composites. It’s important to consider this trade off if you’re thinking of having veneers placed. That is, while composites may cost half as much as porcelain, they last only half as long. So which is the better value?

 

 

Risk of Dental Bonding

 

1. Staining can occur with smoking and excessive amounts of coffee and tea.

2. Durability varies but its approximately 3 to 5 years before replacement is required

3. Chipping or fracturing may necessitate repair or replacement and extra further dental cost

4. Requires more patient care to prevent staining or future chipping.

5. Breakage of the bonding materials occurs more readily with bonding than with Porcelain restorations

6. In short term, it is less costly, but the potential of frequent repairing, replacement or maintenance may mean more expensive in long term plus the time lost involved on frequent dental visit to do repair or maintenance.

 

 

How Long Does Bonding Material Last?

 

The lifespan of bonding materials depends on how much bonding was done and your oral habits. Plastic bonding may last for years but it is less strong than the more durable or longer lasting Porcelain restoration. Typically, however, bonding material lasts from 3 -5 years up to about 10 years before needing to be touched up or replaced, depending on tooth location and patient’s bite and eating and chewing habits.

They have a useful life of 3 to 8 years.

Part of the success of dental bonding is determined, in part, on the location of the restoration on the tooth. If the bonding is on the very edge of your tooth, it most likely won’t not last as long because of biting forces and what types of food you are biting into. Chewy, hard or crunchy foods will weaken the bonding quickly compared to soft foods. Many patients with bonding on their front teeth avoid directly biting into food that can compromise the structural soundness of dental bonding.

 

 

 

How much does Dental Bonding cost? Are they affordable?

 

 

If budget is a concern, dental bonding is an affordable and viable option. Dental bonding is a most affordable cosmetic procedure in which a tooth- coloured resin is bonded to the surface of tooth, thus approving its overall appearance. Bonding can be used to repair decayed, chipped or discoloured teeth, and restoring a person’s smile to its natural beauty. Dental bonding is one form of cosmetic dentistry used to help individuals feel confident and secure about the appearance of their smile.

Since we place and harden bonding material in our office, there is no need for participation from the dental lab. This makes the process more cost-effective than getting dental veneers or crowns.

The exact cost of dental bonding varies depending on the extent of the damage, how many teeth require repair, the materials utilised, and many other considerations. If you are weighing your options between the two, let us know. We can give you a breakdown of what each procedure will cost or check it in here.

Compared with the cost of porcelain veneer, the cost of dental bonding is only a fraction of the cost of other treatments like veneers.

What steps are included in the composite bonding process?

 

Your dentist will first go through your specific needs, whether they involve a chipped tooth, discoloration, gaps between teeth, or any other oral issues.

To guarantee that the composite bonding merges perfectly with the colour of your teeth, a colour match will be made.

Your dentist will administer any necessary numbing at this point if the area being treated calls for it. The tooth surface where the composite bonding will be applied will then be meticulously cleansed.

A specific light source known as a curling lamp is then used to reveal the putty-like resin after it has been poured and moulded. The composite is then turned on, hardening, and setting.

Treatment for one tooth typically takes between 30 minutes and an hour. For multiple teeth, expect few hours to complete.
