Dental bonding is a relatively quick, painless procedure that can be completed in a single office visit.
The first step involves preparing your teeth for bonding. Here, dentists review your dental history and ask you questions about the same. They’ll then conduct a few tests to confirm your eligibility for the procedure. After that, dentists will compare your teeth’s color to a color chart to find the appropriate shade for your dental bonding. Remember, the bonding material must match your teeth’s color to blend seamlessly with them.
Dentists will smear dental glue on the affected teeth. This glue is the adhesive that binds your teeth to the composite bonding material. Once the application of the adhesive concludes, dentists will carefully apply composite resin on the affected teeth. They then gently shape and mold the composite material to match the shape of your teeth.
Dentists will then sculpt the bonded teeth to match natural tooth contours using a laser or drill. They then polish your teeth with a soft rubber cap and polishing paste to give your teeth a beautiful natural sheen. Lastly, the dentists will release you with instructions on caring for your teeth.
Unlike other cosmetic dental procedures, dental bonding is minimally invasive and doesn’t require any drilling or incisions. Moreover, patients won’t need a local anesthetic to numb the pain because the entire process is painless. Patients also don’t have to take store-bought pain medication to manage pain and discomfort after the procedure.
Dental bonding is also one of the most affordable cosmetic dental procedures available today. Other procedures, like veneers and dental implants, are generally pricier than dental bonding. Additionally, unlike other dental procedures, dental bonding doesn’t involve removing the tooth’s enamel. In fact, bonding adds to the shape of the teeth, improving appearance and functionality. Patients can resume their normal diet and daily routines right after treatment.
Dental bonding improves the appearance of teeth so you can have a beautiful smile to show the world. This is great for your self-confidence and social life and opens up countless opportunities to improve your smile. Not only does it address chips and fractures in your teeth, but it also covers stains and discoloration.
Dentists also use dental bonding to hide imperfections in the teeth.
