Dental Bonding at Dental Estetik Center

Dentists often use composite filling materials to fill gaps, repair cracks and fractures in teeth, and repair worn surfaces. Composite materials can be used for filling in the posterior teeth as well as aesthetic material in the anterior teeth.

Before Composite Veneer Application

While deciding on the composite veneer application;

To determine whether your dental problem will be solved with direct composite veneer, your dentist will first perform a comprehensive examination and evaluation of your teeth and gums.

When your dentist makes your examination, she makes an evaluation by looking at the caries, cracks, fractures and cavities on your teeth. Because if the PROBLEMS that cause wear on teeth are not solved, there will be a future problem in composites. Therefore, composite veneer application cannot be done until the cause of the problems is solved.

Composite veneers are now long-lasting restorations with developing technology. For this reason, it is necessary to evaluate natural teeth. If natural teeth need to be whiten, dental bleaching method can be used for a whiter appearance beforehand. In addition, in order not to make excessively thick composite veneers, the crowding of the teeth need to be corrected with alignment treatments. In other words, a preliminary preparation is made for composite veneers.

MOCK UP can also be applied before you decide on the new appearance of your teeth.

Composite Veneer Application Stages

Direct composite veneer application

The composite veneer application to be used in smile design starts by deciding on the shape and shape of the tooth to be made as a result of the previous examination. In the MOCK UP Application, which is one of the most important stages of aesthetic dentistry and enables our patients to make easier decisions, our patient's pleasure and expectations are understood in a way.

These expectations and requests are evaluated for the last time and the process starts with the color of the composite material and the material in the layers to be used.

Direct composite bonding requires precise placement of the restorative material by the dentist. During this very sensitive process, the surface of the tooth is completely isolated from saliva, that is, the saliva should never touch the tooth while this application is performed.

Preparing the tooth

The tooth surface should be cleaned with special disinfectants and cleaners and prepared for the bonding process. In the bonding process, the outer surface is first cleaned, and if there is any decay, the decays are cleaned. It is very important that the gums and gum tissue do not bleed and there is no tartar. Such preparations must be made before composite veneer, that is, the tartar should be cleaned and the rules regarding the necessary oral care should be explained to our patients.

Placement of the composite

Depending on the color of the restoration to be made, composite is pasted on the tooth in layers, while the transparency of the tip of the teeth is used in the layers to provide a whiter appearance of the teeth. Special composites are used in this application.

During this placement, dentist performs the process of placing the composite while she is evaluating patient's face, nose, chin type, and the position of the lips, like a sculptor. After the composite is placed each time, irradiating with a led curing light hardens the composite.

Shaping composite veneers

After the composites are placed and hardened, the veneers are polished and adapted by sanding the upper surfaces in accordance with the shape of the face. In the meantime, both micro and macro alignment of the teeth with the face is achieved. The adaptation of the composites on the back of the teeth is corrected. Required areas are created for the use of dental floss. In other words, the tooth surface is prepared for both cleaning and aesthetic appearance.

What is the application time of composite veneers?

The application time of approximately six composite veneer is 2-2.5 hours. The new look is completed in a single session.

How should composite veneers be maintained?

The use of tea, coffee, coke, and cigarettes is prohibited for 24 hours on the first day of composite veneers because composites are not resistant to such colorants within 24 hours when they are cured. During brushing, non-abrasive pastes are recommended. Normal tooth brushing interface care should be carried out according to the dentist's recommendation. Night guards are helpful for the longer use of composite veneers. It is important to check every six months for the use of composite veneers for many years.
