The glue that holds it all together..

Written By Blake Mitchell

Dental bonding agents are a key factor in the success of dental restorations.

Whether it be a composite filling, porcelain veneers, crowns, or another type of restoration, dental bonding agents contribute to their longevity and performance. Their primary purpose is to bond the dental restoration to natural tooth structure.

At Botanical Dental, we use Futurabond U. Futurabond is manufactured by Voco GmbH, a German company that has been supplying high-quality dental materials since 1981. Voco is regarded as one of the world’s leading manufacturers within the dental sector.

Futurabond U is a universal bonding agent. It is reinforced with silicon dioxide nanoparticles that reinforce the hybrid layer to provide a durable, high bond strength.

Studies and independent testing have shown that Futurabond U provides excellent results for patients. Conclusions of studies and tests include,

  • 96% clinical rating from Dental Advisor

  • Great retention rates

  • High reliability

  • A lack of post-operative hypersensitivity

  • A lack of recurrent caries
