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

The tooth bonding procedure requires nothing more than a quick visit to your Maryland Heights, MO dental office. No inpatient care or all-day procedures. In most cases, no anesthesia is necessary.

The first step is to select the exact resin color to use. Your dentist will match samples and use a chart to make sure that the resin blends in naturally 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. 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.

Next your dentist will apply the resin to your 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 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.

There you have it: your Maryland Heights, MO tooth bonding procedure is simple and painless. The entire process can be done in under an hour and usually takens even less time. The length of time increases, however, if you are having multiple teeth treated with tooth bonding. In this case, one option is to schedule a couple of separate visits to avoid a lengthy visit.
