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 ideal answer for your dental needs. Before you book your tooth bonding appoinment, you should know what to expect from the University City, MO tooth bonding procedure.

The tooth bonding procedure requires nothing more than a simple visit to your University City, 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 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 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, similar to the principle sculptors use, scoring individual pieces of pottery before sticking them together. After preparing the surface of the tooth, they will also add a liquid bonding agent that will hold the resin to the tooth.

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. The viscous material is carefully shaped and molded 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: your University City, MO tooth bonding procedure is simple and painless. The entire process can be done in under an hour and often in as little as 30 minutes. The length of time increases, however, if you are having multiple teeth treated with tooth bonding. 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.
