Dental resin is an advanced plastic material engineered to bond very well to tooth structure and ‘fill’ up minor defects. It’s not as strong as natural tooth structure and as a plastic will scratch, discolour and degrade over time (much like a plastic Tupperware container). Used in appropriate settings, resin restorations have a lifespan of 5-12 years.
+ cheaper than ceramic alternatives
+ most conservative (resin can be moulded to whatever shape we want meaning we get drill less and save more of your tooth structure)
+ for minor aesthetic improvements, we can often make big improvements with minimum intervention
– very technique sensitive – bonding and placement protocols MUST be followed strictly otherwise quality of the restoration is drastically reduced
– isn’t as strong as tooth structure so doesn’t wear well under situations where high strength/support is needed
– surface roughens easily leading to more plaque build up and thus higher risk of re-decay
