What is bonding of the teeth?

Bonding of the teeth is considered a cosmetic dental procedure that consists of the application of a tooth-colored resin that is "bonded" to the teeth with adhesives and then affixed to the area with a high intensity curing light. After the material has been placed, the bonded area will be buffed down to its appropriate thickness, and then polished to a shine. This procedure is widely popular for its ability to fix cosmetic imperfections with materials that replicate the look of real teeth (WebMD).

What conditions does bonding of the teeth treat?

While bonding of the teeth is considered a minor cosmetic procedure, the procedure can help to correct dental imperfections that arise as a result of dental diseases, injuries and other ailments.

What are the types of bonding of the teeth?

There are two primary methods of bonding of the teeth that are used to correct a wide variety of dental imperfections. These include via Consumer Guide to Dentistry:

  • Direct Composite Bonding: This practice refers to when dentists use composite materials that replicate the look of natural teeth to fill cavities, fill in gaps or build up worn-down areas of teeth. The material is then re-shaped and polished to blend in with the rest of an individual's teeth. This minimally-invasive technique is ideal for minor procedures.
  • Adhesive Bonding: For more advanced bonding procedures that involve installing esthetic crowns, porcelain veneers, bridges and other equipment, adhesive bonding is the preferred choice. This procedure involves rubbing the surface of the tooth with a gentle phosphoric acid solution and followed by a bonding agent. A putty-like substance is applies to the tooth and then molded into shape. After some time under an ultraviolet curing light, the area is polished until it reaches its desired appearance.

How do I obtain a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) for bonding of the teeth?
