Tooth Bonding Procedure

You are looking for an easy way to fix a damaged tooth or an imperfection in your smile, and now you know that tooth bonding is the ideal answer for your dental needs. In deciding whether or not tooth bonding is right for you, it's important to become familiar with the Brentwood, MO tooth bonding procedure.

Your tooth bonding procedure requires nothing more than a single visit to your Brentwood, MO dental office. No inpatient care or all-day procedures. Typically, no anesthesia is necessary.

First, you and your dentist must work 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 ensure that the resin blends in seamlessly with the color of your natural teeth.

Your dentist then readies the surface of the tooth or teeth being treating in the tooth bonding procedure. Slightly roughening the affected tooth's surface allows the resin to form a stronger attachment to the tooth, similar to the principle sculptors use, scoring individual pieces of pottery before sticking them together. After preparing the surface of the tooth, you dentist will also apply a liquid bonding agent that will hold the resin to the tooth.

Then your dentist will apply the resin to your tooth. At this point in the tooth bonding procedure, the resin is in a putty-like form. This consistency allows your dentist to carefully shape and mold the resin to the desired shape to take on the appearance of a natural tooth.

Once it has been shaped, the resin is cured and set using UV light. The UV light transforms the resin into a hard, tooth-like consistency. After the resin is hardened, your dentist can still perform additional finishing touches such as minor adjustments to the shape and polishing to add a shine.

There you have it: your Brentwood, MO tooth bonding procedure is simple and painless. The entire process can be done in under an hour and often in as little as 30 minutes. However, patients getting multiple teeth treated will be in for a longer procedure. In this case, one option is to break it up into separate visits to avoid a lengthy visit.
