About The Video
In this video, Dr Jaclyn introduces the concept of freehand composite bonding—a minimally invasive treatment used to restore small chips or worn edges of teeth. She explains how the material is applied, shaped, and polished to blend seamlessly with natural teeth. This makes bonding a great choice for patients seeking subtle improvements without drilling or major alterations.
She also compares bonding with other options like composite veneers, porcelain veneers, and crowns. Veneers are better for covering discoloration or making dramatic changes, while crowns are suited for extensively damaged teeth. Dr. Jaclyn highlights the importance of proper diagnosis, bite analysis, and patient habits to ensure long-lasting results. Her detailed guidance helps patients understand which treatment best fits their dental needs and smile goals.
Dental porcelain veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments, but they are not the only option. As Dr Jaclyn explains, freehand composite bonding can be an ideal alternative for patients with minor chips, wear, or uneven edges. Unlike veneers, which cover the entire front surface of the tooth, bonding targets only the specific area that needs repair. This makes it a minimally invasive and often quicker treatment, with little to no drilling required.
On the other hand, porcelain veneers are more suitable when larger changes in shape, size, or colour are desired, or when teeth have multiple old fillings or discolorations. Proper bite analysis and addressing habits like nail-biting or grinding are essential to ensure lasting results for both treatments. By understanding these differences, patients can make informed decisions about whether dental porcelain veneers or composite bonding is right for them.
