Tooth Bonding Procedure

You are looking for an easy way to fix a damaged tooth or an imperfection in your smile, and now you know that tooth bonding is the perfect answer for your dental needs. In deciding whether or not tooth bonding is right for you, it's important to become familiar with the Overland, MO tooth bonding procedure.

The tooth bonding procedure is a simple visit to your Overland, MO dental office. No inpatient care or all-day procedures. 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 use charts and samples 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 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. After preparing the surface of the tooth, they will also add a liquid bonding agent to help the resin attach.

Next your dentist will apply the resin to your tooth. During this step in the tooth bonding procedure, the resin is maliable - a putty substance. This consistency allows your dentist to carefully shape and mold the resin 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.

There you have it: the Overland, MO tooth bonding appointment is simple and painless. Your office visit 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 break it up into separate sittings to avoid a lengthy visit.
