Tooth Bonding Procedure

You have a minor cosmetic dental flaw or damaged tooth, and you've realized that tooth bonding could be the perfect treatment for your dental needs. Before you book your tooth bonding appoinment, you should know what to expect from the Richmond Heights, MO tooth bonding procedure.

The tooth bonding procedure is a quick visit to your Richmond Heights, MO dental office. No inpatient care or all-day procedures. Typically, 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. Slightly roughening the affected tooth's surface allows the resin to form a stronger attachment to the tooth, similar to the principle sculptors use, scoring individual pieces of pottery before sticking them together. After preparing the surface of the tooth, you dentist will also apply a liquid bonding agent that will hold the resin to the tooth.

Then 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.

Lastly, 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: the Richmond Heights, MO tooth bonding appointment is simple and painless. The entire process 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 visits to avoid a lengthy visit.
