Where Can Dental Bonding Be Applied?

  • Front Teeth: Most commonly applied to front teeth for aesthetic concerns. Color irregularities, small chips, and gaps can be closed.
  • Premolars (Small Molars): Can be used for minor wear or small corrections.
  • Tooth Gaps (Diastema Closure): An effective method for filling small spaces between teeth.

Where Is Dental Bonding Not Suitable?

  • Back Molars (Grinding Teeth): Bonding can easily wear down or break on back teeth where chewing pressure is high. Therefore, porcelain crowns or fillings are generally preferred.
  • Large Structural Damage: If a large portion of a tooth is missing, bonding may not be durable enough. In such cases, crowns or porcelain veneers might be a better solution.

Conclusion:

Bonding is ideal, especially for front teeth, but it may not be long-lasting in areas subjected to excessive chewing force. If significant corrections are needed on back teeth, more durable alternatives should be considered.
