Cosmetic Resin Bonding
What Is It?
A composite resin filling material (a mixture of plastic, fibre reinforcement and glass particles) is applied and bonded directlyon to your tooth surfaces.
Unsightly gaps between teeth can be filled and misshapen teeth can be re-shaped in both their position and size.
Loose teeth can be splinted and joined together, unsightly teeth and exiting fillings can be improved using tooth shaded materials.
How Long Does It Take?
Thirty minutes to one hour depending on the treatment.
Pain Factor?
Not at all as material is being added, not taken away.
How Long Does It Last?
Successfull cases carried out in this practice have lasted over a fifteen year period.
Not Suitable For
If teeth are very crowded or there are no teeth at all.
Benefits
This is a painless, safe and predictable treatment which does not involve excessive tooth preparations.
As the enamel integrity of the tooth is maintained there is far less chance of future problems occuring ( ie. toothaches or infections). In addition composite resin restorations are much cheaper than other treatments as impressions are un-necessary and laboratory prepared fixtures are not required.
