Things to Know Before You Get Dental Bonding
If you’re considering dental bonding, there are a few things you should know first.
1. Procedure can be done in just one visit
If you don’t have time for multiple dental visits, bonding might be a good option for you. The procedure can usually be done in just one visit to the dentist.
2. Usually, you don't need anesthesia
Most people don’t need anaesthesia for dental bondings. If your dentist is going to bond a large area, you might be given a local anesthetic to numb the area.
3. It may be used to fix a variety of dental problems
Dental bonding may be used to fix a number of different dental problems, including:
- Chipped teeth
- Cracked teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Misshapen teeth
- Stained or discoloured teeth
4. Bonding usually lasts for 3 to 5 years
With proper care, dental bonding usually lasts for 3 to 5 years. After that, it will likely need to be replaced.
5. It's not as strong as other options
Dental bonding is not as strong as other dental options, such as veneers or crowns. It’s more likely to chip or break than other options.
6. It's not suitable for everyone
Dental bonding might not be suitable for everyone. If you have very large dental problems, bonding might not be the best option. Your dentist will be able to advise you on whether or not dental bonding is right for you.
7. Health insurance covers dental bonding
Health insurance usually covers dental bonding. However, you might have to pay a deductible or copayment. Check with your insurance company to see what is covered.
8. May help with sensitive teeth
Dental bonding may help with sensitive teeth by protecting the root of the tooth.
