Are There Any Risks Associated With Bonding?

Bonding does not have any serious risks associated with it. However, composite resin material is not as strong as your actual teeth so it can chip or break. Taking care to avoid chewing on ice, your pen, or your fingernails can help to avoid this issue.

Why Consider Bonding?

There are several shades of composite resin available, which allows us to choose a color that best matches your actual teeth. The procedure itself is non-invasive. There is no need for a local anesthetic, which means no needles. It only takes one appointment to complete the procedure. Because there is only a minimal adjustment of your tooth enamel, we can preserve the most amount of your natural tooth structure. This can help to avoid potential complications such as tooth sensitivity. Bonding is also one of the most affordable cosmetic treatments out there.

Are There Drawbacks To Bonding?

There are some things that you should keep in mind when considering bonding as a cosmetic solution. The material is not as strong as your natural teeth, which leaves it more prone to chipping or breaking than other solutions such as veneers or crowns. Composite resin can stain, and it cannot be whitened.

It is not an ideal solution for covering bigger cosmetic issues because it is at a greater risk of cracking. In some rare instances, the entire bonding can come detached from your tooth.
