ANTERIOR COMPOSITE BONDING

This is just a 'fancy' dental way of saying we glue and shape white filling material to your teeth. The reality is that it is not easy to do well.

We have to do the following:

1. Make sure any gum disease, infection or decay is dealt with first.

2. Pre-design the end result, we call this a prototype or in-chair mock up and/or on 3D printed models of your teeth.

3. Ensure that the future restorations fit within your bite scheme so they do not chip or fracture.

4. Check that the color and materials we use match your natural teeth, so the result is as harmonious as possible.

5. Prepare and clean the tooth so that there are no sharp edges and the bond is as strong as possible.

6. Layer multiple different colors to create natural and balanced color transitions.

7. Add natural reflective texture into the material so that it reflects light the same as natural teeth.

8. Polish the surfaces and contacts to ensure you have a smooth margin and long lasting high luster.

TYPES OF ANTERIOR BONDING

There are multiple types and scenarios of bonding white composite resin. There is no one type that suits all modality. Everyone is different and requires a bespoke customization depending on their needs and desires. The truth is we can pretty much create any style you wish but in order for you to be completely happy, you need to be able to give us as much feedback as possible to help achieve your goal together.

Can a dental crown affect the sensitivity of my tooth?

It is common to experience slight sensitivity after getting a crown, especially to hot or cold temperatures. This usually subsides within a few days. Our team will make sure the fit is optimal, as a well-fitted crown helps minimize sensitivity. If discomfort persists, we can offer solutions to improve your comfort.
Will my dental crown look different from my natural teeth?

Our crowns are custom-made to match the shade, shape and translucency of your natural teeth, blending seamlessly with your smile. We prioritize both function and aesthetics, ensuring the crown complements your existing teeth.
What happens if my crown becomes loose or falls off?

If your dental crown loosens or falls out, it is essential to contact our office promptly. Our dentist will examine the crown and underlying tooth to determine the cause and recommend the appropriate fix. Re-cementing the crown or adjusting the fit can often resolve the issue.
Is anesthesia required when getting a dental crown?

Anesthesia is typically used during the initial procedure to ensure your comfort while the tooth is being prepared. In some cases, anesthesia may also be applied when placing the permanent crown. We prioritize patient comfort and will discuss anesthesia options with you beforehand.
