1. What is a composite restoration?


Composite is a tooth coloured material composed of glass particulates suspended in a resin matrix. They have been used in dentistry for many decades.The single great advantage of composites is that they are placed and hardened in the dental chair.
Their use includes the restoration of dental cavities, the replacement of dental amalgam (metal alloys), and the restoration of teeth when they have been worn or chipped away. In addition, composites are often used for aesthetic reasons to enhance the contour, shape, colouring or relative position of the front teeth.It takes approximately one hour to restore a simple cavity with composite.





2. What is bonding?

The dental bonding procedure utilizes a composite resin and is used for a variety of structural as well as cosmetic purposes. One can draw a parallel between dental bonding materials and a sculptor's clay. By using dental composite resin bonding your dentist can restore chipped or broken teeth, fill in gaps and reshape or recolor your smile.





3. When is bonding of special use?


Dental bonding , also known as composite or tooth bonding, is an excellent way to fix cosmetic and structural imperfections in the teeth.Cosmetic bonding can also repair misaligned teeth, providing a straighter, more uniform smile.

Benefits of Cosmetic Bonding


Dental bonding is also a great alternative to more extensive cosmetic dentistry treatment with porcelain veneers, bridges, and crowns. Additionally, the composite resin used in a cosmetic bonding procedure is very flexible, expanding and contracting with the natural tooth to prevent cracks and tooth loss. Dental bonding is an excellent option for individuals looking to repair imperfections in their smile.
