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. Before you book your tooth bonding appoinment, it's important to become familiar with the Kent, MO tooth bonding procedure.

The tooth bonding procedure requires nothing more than a single visit to your Kent, 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 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. After preparing the surface of the tooth, you dentist will also add a liquid bonding agent that will hold the resin to the tooth.

Next the resin will be applied to the tooth. During this step 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 to the desired shape to take on the appearance of a natural tooth.

Once it has been shaped, the resin is cured and set using UV light. The UV light hardens the resin into a hard, tooth-like consistency. After the resin is hardened, your dentist can still perform 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 Kent, MO tooth bonding procedure will be 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 visits to avoid a lengthy visit.
