Composite Bonding | IOSC - Dental Implants Singapore, Teeth Whitening, Braces

				Dental bonding is a technique that has been used in cosmetic dentistry for many years and can transform your smile in just a single visit. The process involves the skillful / artistic use of the correct amount and colour of "dental composite" which is a moldable material with a paste like consistency made from acrylic resins and a variety of fillers. Bonding is used for a variety of cosmetic dental procedures including: · Filling dental cavites - "White fillings" · Replacing metal or amalgam fillings · Repairing broken and chipped teeth · Closing gaps between teeth (diastamas) · Reshaping teeth · Smile makeovers - composite veneers (although porcelain veneers are the better option for this)

A wide spectrum of shades available with today’s composite resins allow an exact colour duplicate to match natural teeth colour, ensuring an esthetic and beautiful smile.

Composite bonding typically lasts 5-8 years and a patient should not expect to get the same lasting service from it as they would from porcelain veneers or dental crowns. One of the disadvantages of using dental bonding to create dental restorations is that it will usually stain over time. And since the cosmetic appearance of the bonding can be one of its most important attributes, staining may be one of the main reasons why a dental patient and their dentist might determine that the bonding has served its useful life span and should be replaced. The potential for staining to occur will be greater for those people whose consumption habits include the use of coffee, tea, dark cola, red wine, or tobacco products.
