Composite edge bonding

Composite bonding procedure is actually the procedure that involves improving of the structure of the teeth or teeth restoration. Composite edge bonding is technically called incisal Edge Bonding. It means the composite material is only applied not to the entire teeth but only the edges.

An introduction to composite bonding

The procedure is ideal for the areas in the mouth that are usually subjected to low pressure like the front tooth or teeth as well as the incisors. Canines though can also be included in the procedure. But that is hardly done. The tooth or teeth in the bottom row are also applicable. But dentists usually do it after analysing the frame when the upper jaw and the lower jaw meet and the bite type of a patient.

The procedure works out faster than many other dental procedures. On an average it hardly takes an hour although that may vary depending on the number of the teeth undergoing the treatment. For best results, at the most 8 to 10 teeth may undergo this procedure. However, the procedure can only be applied on an individual only after detailed consultation with a dentist. It is also important to check whether dental insurance covers this procedure.
