Dental construction of a tooth

Bonding

Bonding is one of the reasons why we are proud to say that any irregularity in a smile can be corrected… to perfection.
From the English language, the word bonding is translated as “gluing” or “bridging but most disliked”, the original term – bonding.

Because bonding is a procedure that truly “connects” teeth into one harmonious, complete, and beautiful smile.

Advantages and features

Here's how it works

Bonding is a technology that allows us to make even a severely damaged tooth functional and aesthetically appealing again. We achieve this by adding a photopolymer material directly to the tooth. In this way, we can change both its shape and color – until the ideal result is achieved.

And we do it – every day. Today, bonding is one of the most commonly used and sought-after procedures in cosmetic dentistry.

Of course, when we talk about aesthetics, it is logical to first think of the front teeth. Indeed, bonding restoration is most often used precisely for corrections of the front teeth. But its possibilities go much further. With bonding we can:

to reconstruct the tooth in cases of fractures, chipping, uneven edges, cracks, or abrasion
to close the gaps between the teeth
to completely change the shape of the teeth
to completely change or even out the color of the teeth, that is, to remove all types of stains and discolorations
to lengthen the cutting edges of the teeth
to correct the proportions of the smile
to cover and protect areas where increased tooth sensitivity is present (most often at the base of the teeth)

Bonding uses the same material as fillings, which we dentists call composite fillings. This material is a plastic-based photopolymer that is applied directly to the tooth.

To achieve a perfect result, we must first agree together on what your ideal smile looks like. Digital technology helps us here — we create a detailed plan of your future smile and refine it until you say “yes.” We guarantee that the final outcome will not deviate even by a millimeter from what you have chosen and approved.

What are the advantages?

Advantages

Bonding achieves impressive aesthetic results, making it one of the most desirable means of correcting dental irregularities. But that’s far from its only advantage. Here are a few more:

It is gentle on the teeth. In most cases, grinding of the tooth surface is not necessary.
It's fast. The procedure can be completed in just one visit, after which you leave with a completely new and beautiful smile.
Тој е достапен. Цената на бондингот е значително пониска од онаа на фасетите, бидејќи постапката не бара лабораториска изработка.

When is it recommended?

From the above, it is clear that bonding has an extremely wide range of applications when it comes to aesthetic correction of teeth. However, we do not recommend it in all cases.

When there is more damage to the tooth – for example, after serious trauma – we will suggest another method of reconstruction, depending on your condition.

Is bonding the best solution?

However, if you want the absolute best, bonding has its own alternative – veneers. Any experienced dentist will tell you that they are the “heavy artillery” of cosmetic dentistry, as they surpass bonding in one very important aspect – the durability of the results.

Bonding is a great solution! With modern materials, it has high durability and is an ideal option for correcting irregularities in the smile. Today’s technologies for improving color and aesthetics are at a cosmic level, guaranteeing you natural and impressive results.

Since bonding is made from a plastic-based photopolymer, its lifespan is limited. Its durability depends on several factors — the technique used, the size and type of the damage being corrected, as well as the patient’s habits. On average, bonding maintains its best appearance for a few years, after which a follow-up visit to the dentist is needed for maintenance or replacement in order to preserve its aesthetic and functional qualities.
