Bonding

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is a man-made composite white colored filling material designed for cosmetic dentistry.  Dr. Scarpiniti will sculpt and shape the dental bonding material to the cosmetic and functional results you desire.

What are the indications for dental bonding?

Dental bonding is used to restore front and back teeth.  It is indicated to:

  • improve the cosmetic results for patients by changing the color of teeth
  • changing the shap of teeth
  • repairing chips in teeth
  • closing gaps between teeth
  • replace silver fillings (amalgam) for a more cosmetic look
  • restore teeth due to decay
  • cover exposed rooth surfaces due to gum recession

What is the procedure for dental bonding?

Dr. Scarpiniti, the premier cosmetic dentist in Lombard, will work with you to select the right color for your bonding material.  Dr. Scarpiniti can match the color of your natural teeth or select a color that is whiter and brighter to improve the cosmetic dental results.  He will apply this bonding material to the tooth and shape it to the desired cosmetic shape.  He will use a light ot activate and harden the material and then polish the final surface. 

Dental whitening is recommended prior to dental bonding to ensure that the color selected will match the new overall color of your whitened smile.

How long does dental bonding last?

A patient can expect that dental bonding will last from 3 to 10 years.  Although this will vary with the oral habits of the patients.  Trauma, excessive wear due to clenching, grinding or malocclusion or poor oral hygiene can all decrease the longevity of the dental bonding material. Also, the bonding material may stain or discolor due to smoking, drinking coffee and tea to name a few.
