Aesthetic Filling (Bonding) treatment is one of the most and last applied preventive dentistry procedures today.

Bonding literally means sticking. Bonding treatment is applied by sticking aesthetic filling (composite filling) materials to the tooth without causing damage to the tooth. Bonding treatment is an easy and economical cosmetic dentistry application.

Aesthetic Filling (Bonding) treatment; It is a very successful method that is often used to close tooth gaps and repair broken teeth. Even in cases where half of your tooth is broken, bonding treatment can be successful. Apart from this, bonding treatment can be applied for the treatment of decayed teeth, correction of permanent discoloration problems, making the teeth appear longer, or correcting some deformities in the teeth and designing a new smile.

Bonding treatment is a minimally invasive application; It is a method applied by sticking the material to the tooth without damaging the tooth. For this reason, we can say that bonding treatment is a tooth-preserving application.

When you come to the clinic, photos of the current state of your teeth are taken, and then the application is started. Contrary to conventional dental veneer methods, either no abrasion or very little abrasion is made from the tooth.

By roughening the surface of your tooth, retention is provided for the aesthetic filling material. Then, the bonding material and tooth-colored composite filling are applied to the tooth and polished.

After bonding, the result photos are taken and the process is finished.

During the procedure, the patient’s teeth can be shown simultaneously, so that the shape of the teeth can be changed according to the patient’s wishes. In this way, the teeth closest to the patient’s dream tooth can be obtained.

Treatment is usually completed in a single session. Depending on the procedure to be performed, the duration of treatment may vary between 1-3 hours. If the number of teeth in the application is high, a second session may be needed. After all this, a detailed polishing and control session is performed and the aesthetic details are reviewed.

One of the important issues in bonding treatment is the knowledge and skill of the physician. When the bonding treatment, which is mostly preferred in aesthetic smile design, is performed by a competent person in the field, you can get a very natural look.

These applications can serve you for approximately 5-10 years. Factors such as the quality of the material used or the dexterity of the practicing physician affect the life of the treatment. In addition to all these, the effect of the patient on the life of the treatment is quite high. For longer-lasting restorations, you must follow the physician’s recommendations after the treatment.

The care of bonded teeth is no different than normal teeth. As with our teeth, it is very important to brush the bonded teeth regularly every day and to use dental floss. In order to minimize the formation of stains, it is necessary to stay away from colored food and drinks as much as possible, especially in the first 48 hours.

Composite filling is not as strong as a natural tooth. For this reason, you should not break hard objects (such as hazelnuts, peanuts) with your restored tooth. In addition, you need to give up habits such as nail biting and pen biting. Regular care of the teeth and regular check-ups by the dentist will extend the life of the treatment. For this reason, you should not interrupt your routine oral care and routine doctor checks. During these checks, your composite fillings may also need to be re-polished.

It is more economical than other aesthetic procedures.

Yeah! This treatment can be applied to almost all age groups. People of all ages can improve their appearance and smile even more with this application.

If the person has a habit of clenching (bruxism) and this is more common in the anterior teeth, bonding treatment is not recommended. If the problems in the tooth array are at a level that can be resolved without the need for orthodontic treatment, the smile can be redesigned by applying bonding treatment to the related teeth. If the problem is large, different treatments such as orthodontic treatment or laminate veneers and porcelain crowns can be applied.

There is no harm in applying it during pregnancy.

Re-bonding can be applied to previously bonded teeth. These restorations are easy to repair in cases of breakage or wear. They also allow form and shape changes to be made when desired.

In cases where there is no caries in the teeth, there is usually no need for anesthesia during the treatment. Because painless applications are made. No pain or sensitivity is felt during or after the procedure.
