What Is Direct Bonding?
Sometimes called cosmetic bonding, direct bonding is a process that involves using tooth-colored resin to hide aesthetic flaws in teeth. The resin is carefully color-matched to your existing teeth, and it can be molded precisely to hide all types of imperfections before it’s hardened with a special curing light. It’s the same material that’s used for fillings, so it can also withstand eating and drinking, not to mention, it doesn’t impact oral hygiene at all.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Direct Bonding?
You may be a good candidate for direct bonding if:
- You’re self-conscious about minor flaws in your smile – Direct bonding is a great solution for fixing small chips, stains, misshapen teeth, or even small gaps, but it usually isn’t appropriate when a patient wants a dramatic smile makeover.
- Your teeth are relatively healthy – If you have cavities, gum disease, or other oral health issues, they’ll need to be treated before you can receive any cosmetic work such as direct bonding.
- You’re looking for a quick and affordable solution – Direct bonding’s convenience is unrivaled, and it’s among the most accessible of all cosmetic solutions. It’s more affordable than options like veneers, as well as being quicker.
