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. In deciding whether or not tooth bonding is right for you, you should know what to expect from the Webster Groves, MO tooth bonding procedure.

Your tooth bonding procedure is a single visit to your Webster Groves, MO dental office. You will be in and out in a matter of minutes. Typically, no anesthesia is necessary.

First, you and your dentist must work to determine the resin color that most closely matches the natural color of your teeth. Your dentist will match samples and use a chart to ensure that the resin blends in naturally with the color of your natural teeth.

Next, your dentist 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. Once the tooth's surface is prepared, they will also apply a liquid bonding agent to help the resin attach.

Next 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. 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.

Once it has been shaped, 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 shaping tweaks and polishing to add a shine.

There you have it: your Webster Groves, MO tooth bonding procedure is simple and painless. Your office visit 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. In this case, one option is to break it up into separate visits to avoid a lengthy visit.
