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

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

First, you and your dentist must work to select the resin color that most closely matches the natural color of your teeth. Your dentist will use charts and samples to make sure that the resin blends in naturally with the color of your natural teeth.

Next, your dentist 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. Once the tooth's surface is prepared, you dentist will also add 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 maliable - a putty substance. The viscous material allows your dentist to carefully shape and mold the resin to the desired shape to take on the appearance of a natural tooth.

Lastly, 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 shaping tweaks and polishing to add a shine.

There you have it: your Glendale, MO tooth bonding procedure 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. 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.
