Our case study today is on cosmetic bonding. For those of you who are unaware of the process of cosmetic bonding, here is a recap:
1. It is a completely NON-invasive treatment for chipped, fractured, spaced and uneven teeth.
2. It is additive i.e we bond to the natural tooth surface.
3. There is no need for any drilling of the underlying tooth.
4. There is no need for any needles or injections.
5. It is far more affordable than traditional treatments such as porcelain veneers.
6. It is easy to maintain.
7. It is reversible.
Just take a look at our photographs:
Spaces present between the front teeth.
No more spaces! Treatment in just 60 minutes.
As you can see, the cosmetic bonding is barely visible. The treatment was completed in just 60 minutes. Of course, cosmetic bonding is not a replacement for porcelain veneers and although the appearance is great, we cannot replicate the glossy shine of porcelain! We would say a matt finish instead. However, there are major advantages and we would always advise starting with bonding if at all possible.
