Who Should Receive Tooth Bonding

Tooth bonding is a valuable treatment for both cosmetic and functional dental concerns. The procedure is quick, painless, and reasonably priced and best suited for cosmetic concerns and to address teeth with mild damage.

You should always consult with your dentist about which dental treatments are most appropriate for a patient in your situation. Whether you have experienced a minor tooth injury, have a natural abnormality that affects your appearance, or an infected tooth or exposed root that requires protection, tooth bonding may be the answer for you.

Tooth bonding is often used to treat Bridgeton, MO patients who have:

  • Chipped tooth or teeth
  • Cracked tooth or teeth
  • Misshapen teeth
  • Unnaturally small teeth
  • A gap between teeth
  • Cavities or exposed , as an alternative to silver or other obviously visible amalgam fillings
  • A discolored tooth

Benefits of Tooth Bonding

Tooth bonding is a great dental treatment for patients with a variety of dental problems. The procedure is low-risk and the procedure is brief - the procedure is painless and involves very little, if any, discomfort. After the bonding procedure has been completed, it requires standard oral health practices to maintain its appearance, but is it a cost-effective procedure that helps many people and has the potential to remain effective for years with reasonable care.

Tooth bonding is:

  • Fast - unlike other crowns or veneers, tooth bonding can be performed in as little as one session
  • Non-Invasive - bonding is non-ivasive and doesn't require surgical dentistry - tooth bonds are placed directly over your existing enamel
  • Effective - bonds can fill in gaps between teeth, smooth cracked or chipped teeth, remold the shape of misshaped teeth, and fix discolored teeth or stains
  • Affordable - dental implants and veneers can be costly, but on average, the price of tooth bonds ranges from $300-$600 per tooth
  • Long-Lasting - tooth bonding, with proper care, can last for over a decade

Tooth Bonding Procedure

You have a minor cosmetic dental flaw or damaged tooth, and now you know that tooth bonding is the perfect answer for your dental needs. Before you book your tooth bonding appoinment, you should know what to expect from the Bridgeton, MO tooth bonding procedure.

Your tooth bonding procedure is a quick visit to your Bridgeton, MO dental office. You will be in and out in a matter of minutes. In most cases, 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 naturally with the color of your natural teeth.

Next, your dentist prepares the surface of the tooth or teeth being treating in 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, similar to the principle sculptors use, scoring individual pieces of pottery before sticking them together. Once the tooth's surface is prepared, they will also apply a liquid bonding agent to help the resin attach.

Then the resin will be applied to the tooth. During this step in the tooth bonding procedure, the resin is in a putty-like form. The viscous material is carefully shaped and molded until it resembles a natural tooth to blend into your smile.

Once it has been shaped, 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: your Bridgeton, 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. The length of time increases, however, if you are having multiple teeth treated with tooth bonding. In this case, one option is to schedule a couple of separate visits to avoid a lengthy visit.
