Tooth Bonding Procedure

You have a minor cosmetic dental flaw or damaged tooth, and you've realized that tooth bonding could be the ideal treatment for your dental needs. In deciding whether or not tooth bonding is right for you, you should know what to expect from the Central St. Louis, MO tooth bonding procedure.

Your tooth bonding procedure is a simple visit to your Central St. Louis, MO dental office. No inpatient care or all-day procedures. Typically, no anesthesia is necessary.

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

Your dentist then prepares the surface of the tooth or teeth that require 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, they will also apply a liquid bonding agent to help the resin attach.

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 allows your dentist to carefully shape and mold the resin until it resembles a natural tooth to blend into your smile.

Lastly, the resin is cured and set with the application of UV light. The UV light hardens the resin into a hard, tooth-like consistency. After the resin is hardened, your dentist can still perform additional finishing touches such as minor shaping tweaks and polishing to add a shine.

There you have it: your Central St. Louis, MO tooth bonding procedure will be 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. 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.
