Dental Bonding: Enhance, Restore, and Transform Your Smile’s Radiance

Getting your teeth chipped or cracked can be really painful and uncomfortable. Whether it happened in an accident or you’ve always had small gaps in your teeth, dental bonding can turn things around like magic. As dental bonding experts in Auckland, Primecare Dental understands how to restore your tooth’s structure and make your smile look perfect again. 

What is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding is a quick and painless way to fix cracked, malformed, or discoloured teeth. A tooth-coloured composite resin is applied to the affected teeth to enhance their structure and make them look better. At Primecare Dental, we use composite fillings, which are both strong and match your natural teeth. The material used also helps insulate your teeth from temperature changes. So, if you’ve got sensitive teeth, you can finally enjoy ice-cold drinks and hot soups without any pain.

The procedure is as versatile as it gets, with dental bonding being used for both cosmetic dentistry as well as health-related reasons. This includes,

• Whitening stained teeth and making them smoother. 
• Closing gaps between teeth.
• Fixing chipped or cracked teeth.
• Changing tooth shape to match the surrounding set. 

How Does Dental Bonding Work?

Primecare Dental’s team of experts has several years of experience performing dental bonding treatments with the utmost speed, precision, and ease. The procedure is simple and all it takes is about 30 to 60 minutes per tooth.

1. Preparing the resin: Using a ‘shade guide’, we pick a resin that matches the natural colour of your teeth. If you’re getting the treatment for cosmetic reasons, feel free to choose the shade of your choice. 

1. Optional anaesthesia: If the tooth chip under repair is fairly close to the nerve or the root, touching it can be quite painful. In this case alone, we would use anaesthesia to help our technicians drill into the tooth to change its shape.
2. Preparing the tooth: Dental bonding is about making the resin stick to the smooth surface of your tooth. For this purpose, we condition your teeth by carefully applying a special liquid that works like glue.

1. Applying and hardening the resin: Finally, the resin is applied and moulded into the exact shape that you’re looking for. We then use a bright blue light to harden it, trim it, and polish it to a shine.
