Make sure to speak with your dentist about the procedures and treatments that would be best for your given situation.

  • A gap between teeth
  • Cavities or exposed , as an alternative to silver or other obviously visible amalgam fillings

Benefits of Tooth Bonding

Tooth bonding is an excellent dental treatment for patients with a variety of dental problems. The procedure is low-risk and the procedure is brief - you will feel no pain and very little, if any, discomfort. After the bonding procedure has been completed, it requires standard oral health practices to maintain its appearance. Dental bonding is powerful enough to help many patients have healthier, happier smiles, affordable, and can last years with reasonable care.

Tooth bonding is:

  • Fast - unlike other crowns or veneers, tooth bonding can be done in a single session
  • Non-Invasive - bonding is a non-surgical method - tooth bonds are applied on top of your existing enamel
  • Effective - bonds can fill large tooth gaps, fix cracked or chipped teeth, change the shape of misshaped teeth, and fix tooth discoloration or stains
  • Affordable - other cosmetic dentistry techniques can be expensive, but typically, the cost of tooth bonds ranges from $300-$600 for each tooth
  • Long-Lasting - tooth bonding, with proper care, can last for over 10 years

Tooth Bonding Procedure

You have a minor cosmetic dental flaw or damaged tooth, and you've realized that tooth bonding could be the ideal answer for your dental needs. Before you book your tooth bonding appoinment, you should know what to expect from the Belle, MO tooth bonding procedure.

The tooth bonding procedure is a single visit to your Belle, MO dental office. You will be in and out in a matter of minutes. Typically, no anesthesia is necessary.

The first step is to determine the resin color that most closely matches the natural color of your teeth. Your dentist will match samples and use a chart to make sure that the resin blends in seamlessly with the color of your natural teeth.

Your dentist then readies the surface of the tooth or teeth that require the tooth bonding procedure. To ensure that the resin effectively attaches to your existing tooth, they must roughen the surface where it will be attached, like how sculptors score individual pieces of pottery before sticking them together. Once the tooth's surface is prepared, they will also add a liquid bonding agent that will hold the resin to the tooth.

Next your dentist will apply the resin to your tooth. During this step in the tooth bonding procedure, the resin is maliable - a putty substance. This consistency is carefully shaped and molded to the desired shape to take on the appearance of a natural tooth.

Lastly, the resin is cured and set using UV light. The UV light hardens the resin into a hard, tooth-like consistency. Your dentist is still able to make alterations to the shape and size after the resin hardens. This is the perfect time for additional finishing touches such as minor adjustments to the shape and polishing to add a shine.

If you didn't know before, now you do: the Belle, MO tooth bonding procedure will be simple and painless. The entire process can be done in under an hour and usually takens even less time. However, patients getting multiple teeth treated will be in for a longer procedure. If you have several affected teeth that need tooth bonding, you may want to schedule a couple of separate sittings to avoid a lengthy visit.
