Dental bonding - broken tooth restoration and repair
Welcome to our dental and plastic surgery clinic in Prague, Czech Republic!
You can do cheap and quality dental bonding in our clinic for restoration
and repair your tooth!
Crooked, discolored, broken, or misshapen teeth can zap the beauty
from any smile. Bonding is a great way to restore its aesthetic
appearance. During bonding, a thin layer of resin or plastic is
gently applied to the injured teeth and shaped, offering extra strength
and making them look completely natural. To learn more about bonding,

The dental bonding procedure utilizes a composite resin and is
used for a variety of structural as well as cosmetic purposes. One
can draw a parallel between dental bonding materials and a sculptor's
clay. By using dental composite resin bonding your dentist
can restore chipped or broken teeth, fill in gaps and reshape or
recolor your smile.
What is tooth bonding?
Bonding is a composite resin filling placed in the back teeth
as well as the front teeth. Composites are the solution for restoring
decayed teeth, making cosmetic improvements and even changing the
color of your teeth or the reshaping of teeth. Bonding will lighten
any stains you may have, close up minor gaps and can be used to
correct crooked teeth. Basically, bonding will cover any natural
flaws applying a thin coating of a plastic material on the front
surface of your teeth. After this, your cosmetic dentist will apply
a bonding material and sculpt, color and shape it to provide a pleasing
result. A high-intensity light then hardens the plastic, and the
surface is finely polished.
How long does tooth bonding last?
While the traditional silver fillings last about seven years,
these composites should last about seven to eleven years.
How is Tooth Bonding Accomplished?
A very mild etching solution is applied to your teeth to create
very small crevices in the tooth's enamel structure. These small
crevices provide a slightly rough surface permitting a durable resin
to bond materials to your teeth. The resin is then placed on your
tooth and high-intensity light cures the resins onto your tooth's
surface - with each individual layer of resin hardening in just
minutes. When the last coat has been applied to your tooth, the
bonded material is then sculpted to fit your tooth and finely polished.
The resin comes in many shades so that we can match it to your
natural teeth. Due to the layers involved, this procedure will take
slightly longer than traditional silver fillings because multiple
layers of the bonding material are applied. Typically bonding takes
an hour to two hours depending on your particular case.
Types of Tooth Bonding Procedures
There are two types of bonding. What type is indicated in your
situation depends upon whether you have a small area or a larger
area that requires correction.
- For small corrections:
These are one appointment fillings which are color-matched to
the tooth and are bonded to the surface for added strength. These
are most appropriate for small fillings and front fillings as they
may not be as durable for large fillings.
- For larger corrections:
Dental lab-created tooth-colored fillings require two appointments
and involve making a mold of your teeth and placing a temporary
filling. A dental laboratory then creates a very durable filling
to custom-fit the mold made from your teeth. These fillings are
typically made of porcelain. The custom-fit filling is then bonded
to your tooth on your return visit. This type is even more natural
looking, more durable and more stain resistant. For more information
on these types of fillings, please see cosmetic dentistry's section
on dental
fillings.
