Bonding - White fillings Birmingham
Dental bonding is the use of a composite tooth coloured material in dentistry, which creates a strong bond with teeth. Bonding can be used for a variety of procedures including "white fillings", the repair of broken or chipped teeth, changing the shape of teeth, closing gaps between teeth (diastamas) and for producing composite veneers. Dental bonding is a very skilful and artistic procedure carried out by your dentist in Birmingham.
Composite "white" fillings
Bonding is a popular choice for fillings because of it can match the shade of natural teeth and provides a better aesthetic result than old amalgam based fillings. Cosmetic dentists in Birmingham often replace old fillings with tooth coloured composite. However not all fillings are suitable for bonding as the composite material is not as strong as other restorations. Bonding is best suited for small fillings that are not exposed to great forces. With recent advances in dental technology many dentists in Birmingham are turning to the use of CAD/CAM CEREC technology to produce ceramic fillings, which have the advantages of both strength and aesthetics.
