Who Can Get Bonding Treatment?

Bonding is suitable for most people who want to correct minor aesthetic imperfections in their teeth. Individuals experiencing the following conditions can get bonding:

  • Those with gaps between their teeth (diastema closure)
  • Those with small chips or cracks in their teeth
  • Those unhappy with the color of their teeth (to cover stains)
  • Those who want to correct the shape or size of their teeth
  • Those with enamel wear
  • Those who want to correct minor misalignments without the need for orthodontic treatment

In Which Cases Is Bonding Preferred?

Bonding is preferred as a practical and economical solution in the following situations:

  • If a quick aesthetic solution is desired – It can be completed in a single session.
  • If an alternative to more costly treatments is sought – It is more affordable compared to porcelain veneers.
  • If minimal intervention to the tooth surface is desired – No damage is done to the tooth enamel, or very little is abraded.
  • If comprehensive treatment is not required – It is ideal for minor aesthetic corrections.

Who Is Not Suitable for Bonding?

  • Those with very large structural losses – If the fracture is large, porcelain veneers or crowns are recommended instead of bonding.
  • Those with teeth grinding (bruxism) problems – Bonding can wear down or break over time.
  • Those with severe misalignments – If there are orthodontic problems too severe to be corrected with bonding, braces or clear aligner treatments may be more suitable.
