Tooth Bonding Procedure

You have a minor cosmetic dental flaw or damaged tooth, and now you know that tooth bonding is the ideal treatment for your dental needs. Before you book your tooth bonding appoinment, you should know what to expect from the Maplewood, MO tooth bonding procedure.

The tooth bonding procedure is a simple visit to your Maplewood, MO dental office. You will be in and out in a matter of minutes. In most cases, 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 match samples and use a chart to make sure that the resin blends in seamlessly 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, 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 to help the resin attach.

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 until it resembles a natural tooth to blend into your smile.

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. After the resin is hardened, your dentist can still perform additional finishing touches such as minor shaping tweaks and polishing to add a shine.

There you have it: the Maplewood, MO tooth bonding appointment 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. If you have several affected teeth that need tooth bonding, you may want to break it up into separate sittings to avoid a lengthy visit.
