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 answer for your dental needs. Before you book your tooth bonding appoinment, it's important to become familiar with the Huntleigh, MO tooth bonding procedure.

The tooth bonding procedure is a simple visit to your Huntleigh, 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 determine 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 readies the surface of the tooth or teeth being treating in 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. Once the tooth's surface is prepared, you dentist will also apply a liquid bonding agent that will hold the resin to the tooth.

Next the resin will be applied to the tooth. At this point in the tooth bonding procedure, the resin is in a putty-like form. This consistency is carefully shaped and molded to the desired shape to take on the appearance of a natural tooth.

Lastly, 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: your Huntleigh, 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.
