The five primary advantages of composite resin bonding

Composite resin bonding, otherwise referred to as dental bonding, is a popular cosmetic treatment readily available to patients in and around the Glenview, Illinois, community at Smile Today Dental. Drs. Evelyn Kidonakis and Jinyoung “Anny” Yoo discuss with patients the five benefits of this treatment:

• Affordability. Dental bonding is considered a cost-effective way to improve the appearance of teeth. Compared to other aesthetic dental treatments, such as porcelain veneers or orthodontics, dental bonding usually costs less and can be completed in just one appointment.
• Versatility. Dental bonding is used for various purposes, making it a versatile treatment option for patients. It can repair chipped or cracked teeth, close up spaces and gaps, and even cover discoloration or stains.
• Minimally invasive. Dental bonding is minimally invasive, unlike other cosmetic treatments that require removing a significant amount of the tooth structure. The composite resin material is applied right to the tooth’s surface and requires minimal preparation, preserving the natural tooth structure.
• Natural-looking results. With advancements in technology, composite resin materials can now closely mimic the color and translucency of natural teeth. This allows for reliable and seamless integration with the surrounding teeth, creating a natural-looking result.
• Immediate results. One of the biggest advantages of dental bonding is that it provides immediate results. Unlike other cosmetic treatments that may take weeks or months to complete, dental bonding can be completed in just one visit, giving patients an instant improvement in their smile in a single visit.
