Tooth Bonding Procedure

You are looking for an easy way to fix a damaged tooth or an imperfection in your smile, and you've realized that tooth bonding could be the ideal answer for your dental needs. In deciding whether or not tooth bonding is right for you, you should know what to expect from the Earth City, MO tooth bonding procedure.

Your tooth bonding procedure requires nothing more than a simple visit to your Earth City, MO dental office. You will be in and out in a matter of minutes. In most cases, 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 ensure that the resin blends in naturally with the color of your natural teeth.

Next, your dentist readies 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, like how sculptors score individual pieces of pottery before sticking them together. After preparing the surface of the tooth, they will also apply a liquid bonding agent that will hold the resin to the tooth.

Next your dentist will apply the resin to your tooth. At this point in the tooth bonding procedure, the resin is maliable - a putty substance. This consistency 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 with the application of UV light. The UV light transforms 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 Earth City, MO tooth bonding appointment is simple and painless. Your office visit 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 sittings to avoid a lengthy visit.
