Our case of the month for November is cosmetic bonding or teeth bonding which is one of our favourite treatments. For those of you unaware of the process, let us explain for you.
 

Our case of the month is a simply stunning one involving cosmetic bonding. We have posted many cases of bonding before but for those of you who are unaware of the procedure, here are 7 factors about cosmetic bonding:
 

1. It is a great technique for creating symmetry, enhancing aesthetics, closing spaces and repairing chips
2. The tooth enamel is not drilled away like for veneers
3. The process is reversible
4. Highly aesthetic composite (white filling ) materials are used which look natural
5. Maintenance is required over the years but this is simple and stress free
6. Bonding to enamel is extremely reliable. A volume of 1cm3 can elicit a weight of approximately 90kg
7. The process is cost effective and requires NO needles

Our case involves enhancing the symmetry of the lateral incisor teeth.
 

We have invested in the very latest technology- the Waterlase i Plus 2.0. With this amazing dental laser we are able to provide drill free dentistry. Yes, that is correct; dentistry without drilling! Due to the incredible properties of the laser, almost 80% of dental filling cases can be treated without any anaesthetic- so no needles! However, there is more to the laser than simply replacing the dental drill. We can perform all soft tissue procedures using the laser meaning that the traditional scalpels are no longer required, which means less trauma and quicker recovery. There's more! The laser wavelength disinfects as it works, eliminating bacteria, viruses and major pathogens. This in turn provides a major turning point in regeneration of tissues. This has a major impact on all forms of dentistry especially periodontal and implant dentistry. If you detest the dental drill, have a severe needle phobia, want to destroy bacteria in your mouth, have improved outcomes, regenerate tissue and simply enjoy your dental care, contact us today. 

Laser dentistry is at Progressive Dentistry.
