Are you looking for a simple, non-invasive, durable, and tooth-colored way to enhance your smile? Dental bonding might be the perfect solution for you. At Sauve Clinic in Turkey, we specialize in cosmetic dentistry, including dental bonding, to help patients achieve their dream smiles.
What Is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding, also known as tooth bonding or composite bonding, is a permanent tooth-colored cosmetic restoration used to repair, reshape, or improve the appearance of teeth. Unlike other restorations, dental bonding is minimally invasive and is considered the first solution for many dental issues.
What Are The Use Cases Of Dental Bonding?
- Decay at the neck of the teeth. (tooth cavity class V)
- Any decay at the front teeth (tooth cavity class III and class IV )
- Chipped and cracked teeth.
- Decay spots on the cusps of the teeth.
- Misshapen teeth, and realigning tilting teeth
- Exposed teeth roots due to gum recession
- Improving esthetics by closing gaps, altering silver or black-colored restoration to tooth-colored restoration, and covering and fixing areas of discolorations
- In any situation where any filling can’t have any mechanical retention to be permanently placed like Amalgam filling.
Dental bonding restorations are a dental filling material that combines the art and science of cosmetic dentistry. At Sauve Clinic, dental bonding restorations are a daily cosmetic restorative material used in our dental offices. We care to give our patients the best materials, high-quality, and highest standards at affordable prices. With the recent modern dental bonding we use at Sauve Clinic, we enhance patients’ smiles and promote their beauty with a permanent long-lasting cosmetic tooth filling.
What Material Do Dentists Use for Bonding?
Dental bonding is any tooth-colored resin material that can adhere and chemically bond to the tooth structure. Choosing the right material ensures long-lasting, natural, and effective results.
At Sauve Clinic, our daily used dental bonding materials are :
- Composite Resin filling: These are made from a mixture of plastic resin and finely ground glass or ceramic particles, which mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth, it has the luster and smooth appearance of teeth in various tooth shades which make the filling and the tooth structure blended in a small beautiful unnoticeable way.
Composite resin is the key material for the most frequent dental bonding procedures done in the dental clinic, the composite resin material itself is introduced in many products and many forms, all serving the same purpose which is to repair the tooth structure with adhesive tooth-colored durable dental filling.
Composite Resin Forms in the Dental Clinic :
- Flowable composite resin: which is used as sealing material and perfectly used in small cavities and cavities near the tooth root as 3M Flowable Composite
- Bulk-fill composites: they are ideal for tooth-colored restoration for front and back teeth, it’s designed to be applied in thicker layers using Layering Technique as Dentsply Neo Spectra Bulk fill.
- Hybrid composites: that mix between large and small filler particles lead to faster application and less shrinkage upon curing, the most used product at Sauve Clinic is Voco Viscalor Bulk.
- Resin-reinforced Glass Ionomer Filling:
It’s an indispensable tooth-filling material that contains resin glass particles mixed with polyacrylic acid polymers and a fluoro-aluminosilicate base of glass ionomer.
Resin-modified glass ionomers (RMGIs) release fluoride and bond chemically to tooth structure, as do conventional glass ionomers products with the benefits of fluoride-releasing, and instant curing and hardening of the material with Light Curing appliances.
This is perfectly used with children’s teeth, adult teeth which are hard to be perfectly isolated, or very deep cavities where light curing isn’t applicable with the dual and triple cure RMGIs products such as GC Fuji II.
What Is The Procedure For Dental Bonding In Turkey?
The procedure for applying direct restorations with dental bonding materials is almost the same it first begins with:
- Dentist’s clinical assessment of the oral health condition:
Our skilled Dentists assess the gingival and teeth health and also assess if there are any gingival or periodontal health issues. - Patient preparation
First, a dental cleaning starts by removing the food debris and tartar with dental cleaning of the teeth and gingival and removal of stains to select the correct tooth shade.
Then, the right shade selection in daylight, to ensure that the dental bonding will seem perfect as the tooth structure dentin and enamel shades, and then dental anesthesia is administered.
Finally, Isolation of the treated teeth by applying a rubber dam secured in its place with dental clamps and dental floss to begin the composite resin application without any water contamination. - Teeth Preparation by Removing the decay or preparing the teeth to receive the dental bonding
According to the patient’s case, the dentist begins tooth preparation to remove dental caries and prepare the tooth cavity for etching and bonding, if the patient is going to have direct composite veneers, the tooth is prepared with veneers burs kit to the wanted depth, then etch and bond are applied.
Choosing between total-etching and selective-etch techniques is according to the dentist’s assessment of the case and according to the adhesive bonding agents used. - Applying the dental bonding material
By layering and curing technique, a sandwich technique where an underlying flowable layer is applied beneath the bulk fill composite resin or the injectable bulk fill nanohybrid composite, it’s an interchangeable process between placing the composite resin layer and curing it with the Light Cure appliance which used for hardening the resin base in dental bonding materials. - Finishing and polishing
At Sauve Clinic we care about every specific detail, as we use high-quality dental bonding material, we also use special instruments for finishing and polishing the final filling using Finishing Composite kit burs and discs to remove any high points of the filling followed by resin polishers, resin polishing paste and different polishing brushes to ensure smooth lustrous naturally seamless tooth-colored filling.
How Long Does The Dental Bonding Procedure Take?
At Sauve Clinic, direct dental bonding filling is usually made in one single visit as the entire process usually takes 30-60 minutes per tooth, making it an ideal choice for medically compromised patients or those with limited time.
Unlike indirect dental bonding filling like inlays and onlays which needs Impression taking, model fabrication, indirect composite building, and curing outside the patient’s mouth then adhered by bonding agents to the mouth after teeth preparation, This often may need two dental visits and is used in special cases.
Our patients’ first look after the dental bonding filling procedure that is filled with joy and satisfaction tells a lot about our skilled dentists at Sauve Clinic.
We always care that dental bonding feels natural and blends in harmony with the patient’s look, the direct composite filling or veneers can’t be noticed or differentiated from their sound teeth, boost their natural beauty, and bring their bright smile back with confidence.
What Are The Advantages Of Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding composites have many advantages that make them the most frequent dental filling used in dental offices:
- Cheaper effective cost
Dental bonding is generally less expensive than other cosmetic procedures like dental veneers or dental crowns, making it an affordable and accessible option for many patients. - More conservative and minimally Invasive
Unlike Amalgam filling and onlays, dental bonding needs minimally invasive tooth preparation following prevention of extension guidelines by removing only the carious spots relying on the adhesion and bonding ability of the filling to the tooth structure. - Quick procedure
A patient can get a new beautiful harmonious smile in a single visit to the dental Clinic and also can immediately deal with it without any temporary visits. - Highly esthetic outcome
Composite bonding effectively improves the appearance of teeth, addressing multiple tooth issues at once such as chips, gaps, discoloration, and minor misalignments, providing a natural appearance with shades similar to the natural tooth shades and aesthetically pleasing results. - Reversible
Although composite restoration is a permanent durable dental filling, it can be easily repaired, removed, and replaced if there is any damage, a shade problem, or high points in the filling without any change in its integrity or any side effect on the tooth structure.
What Are The Disadvantages Of Dental Bonding?
- Limited Protection against future caries
Without following a daily routine of good oral hygiene, the tooth is still prone to be cavitated by dental carious. Having a previous dental bonding isn’t a self-protective guard against dental caries if a patient does not brush and floss twice a day. - Limited Life span
The Lifetime of the composite dental bonding ranges from 3 years to 10 years maximum, as the patients record wearing, chipping, or staining after an average of 5-6 years after composite restorations depending on the patient’s eating habits and oral hygiene, which then may need replacing with new composite restoration. - Not as strong as the tooth structure and ceramic restoration
Can’t withstand heavy masticatory forces unlike crown restorations and even the sound tooth structure, this could result in wearing chipping or damage to the dental bonding - Discoloration and statin susceptibility
The composite resin used in bonding is more prone to staining over a long time from substances like coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco compared to porcelain veneer restorations.
At Sauve Clinic, care to use the most modern and string dental composite restoration to avoid many of these cons and avoid happening from the start with the techniques used in dental bonding applications. Modern nanohybrid composite resin doesn’t face such cons as staining and low strength, we offer high-quality composite filling and ensure to our patients that these disadvantages are not applicable in the era of the nanotechnology of dental bonding fabrication.

Can You Eat an Apple with Bonded Teeth?
No. While dental bonding is durable, it’s advisable to be more careful with your diet and avoid biting on hard foods like apples, as this can potentially chip or dislodge the bonding material. To minimize risk, consider slicing apples into smaller pieces and chewing them with your back teeth.
Does Tooth Bonding Look Natural?
Yes, tooth bonding can look very natural. Dentists use composite resin-filling shades that match the shades of the color of your natural teeth, allowing the bonded area to be invisible and blend seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
Can Dental Bonding Fix Gum Recession?
No, dental bonding can’t bring receded gum back to its place, however, applying tooth-colored composite resin to the exposed tooth roots with receding gums reduces sensitivity and protects the roots from decay.
How Is Dental Bonding Removed?
The process of dental bonding removal involves a careful process where the dentist uses diamond dental burs to gently sand away the composite resin without damaging the underlying tooth structure.
