Tooth Bonding Procedure

You have a minor cosmetic dental flaw or damaged tooth, and now you know that tooth bonding is the perfect answer for your dental needs. Before you book your tooth bonding appoinment, it's important to become familiar with the Washington, MO tooth bonding procedure.

Your tooth bonding procedure requires nothing more than a single visit to your Washington, MO dental office. You will be in and out in a matter of minutes. In most cases, no anesthesia is necessary.

The first step is to determine the exact resin color to use. Your dentist will use charts and samples to make sure that the resin blends in naturally 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, similar to the principle sculptors use, scoring individual pieces of pottery before sticking them together. Once the tooth's surface is prepared, you dentist will also apply a liquid bonding agent to help the resin attach.

Then your dentist will apply the resin to your 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 until it resembles a natural tooth to blend into your smile.

Once it has been shaped, the resin is cured and set using UV light. The UV light hardens 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: your Washington, MO tooth bonding procedure will be 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 visits to avoid a lengthy visit.
