  • Effective - bonds can fill in gaps between teeth, fix cracked or chipped teeth, remold the shape of misshaped teeth, and fix discolored teeth or stains

  • Long-Lasting - tooth bonding, with adequate care, can last for 10+ years

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 treatment for your dental needs. In deciding whether or not tooth bonding is right for you, it's important to become familiar with the Clayton, MO tooth bonding procedure.

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

The first step is to select 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 prepares 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, 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 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 allows your dentist to carefully shape and mold the resin until it resembles a natural tooth to blend into your smile.

Once it has been shaped, the resin is cured and set with the application of 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 shaping tweaks and polishing to add a shine.

There you have it: your Clayton, 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. 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 break it up into separate visits to avoid a lengthy visit.
