Tooth Bonding Procedure

You have a minor cosmetic dental flaw or damaged tooth, 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 Hazelwood, MO tooth bonding procedure.

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

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

Next, your dentist readies 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, like how sculptors score 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.

Then the resin will be applied to the tooth. At this point in the tooth bonding procedure, the resin is in a putty-like form. The viscous material 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 using 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: your Hazelwood, MO tooth bonding appointment is simple and painless. The entire process can be done in under an hour and usually takens even less time. 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 visits to avoid a lengthy visit.
