Cosmetic Bonding in Tweed Heads
Cosmetic bonding uses tooth-coloured material to change selected aspects of a tooth’s shape, colour or surface. Suitability and the expected appearance will be assessed during consultation.
Cosmetic bonding may be considered for selected concerns such as small chips, minor gaps, discolouration or changes to tooth shape. Suitability depends on the condition of the teeth and the desired outcome.
What to Expect During Your Visits
During the initial stages of the process, we will scan your mouth, giving you a full digital smile design. The simulation provides an illustration of the proposed treatment concept. It does not guarantee the final appearance or treatment outcome.
Cosmetic bonding may change the appearance of selected teeth and, in some cases, may contribute to tooth function. Outcomes vary between patients.
What to Consider After Cosmetic Bonding
Once your cosmetic bonding has been completed, there may be a time of adjustment to the shape and form of where the bonding has been placed on the tooth. It may alter the way you chew and bite, and it might take some time to get used to it.
Your bonding will require a bit more care than a product like veneers. The material used in bonding is not as long-lasting as the ceramic used in veneers, but it’s also a less expensive procedure – veneers can cost four times as much as bonding. Bonding generally requires less alteration of natural tooth structure than some other restorative options, although the amount varies by case.
The lifespan of cosmetic bonding varies and may be influenced by oral habits, bite forces, diet, maintenance and ongoing dental care. Your dentist can discuss what may reasonably be expected in your circumstances.
