Is Cosmetic Bonding Suitable for you?
As with any dental treatment it is important that you are guided by the advice of your dentist. The good news is that for many situations, cosmetic bonding is a great solution.
Like any dental procedure the chances of a successful long term outcome are optimised by the foundations being sound. It is important that you have had any gum disease stabilised and tooth decay treated prior to embarking on a cosmetic dental procedure.
How is cosmetic bonding used to treat gaps between my teeth?
Your dentist will firstly evaluate whether bonding is the best way to treat your teeth. Other alternatives such as traditional orthodontics where teeth are moved using special brackets and wires which are bonded to the individual teeth, or Invisalign, where special transparent retainers are used to move your teeth whilst being nearly invisible to the naked eye, may be more appropriate for your case.
Should cosmetic bonding be the best alternative, your dentist will first discuss with you exactly what you would like to achieve so that he can exceed your expectations. It may be more appropriate to narrow a gap rather than closing it entirely for instance.
