Bonding can often be done without anesthesia if there is no decay or pulp exposure. Bonding material comes in various shades that are designed to accurately match the color of your natural teeth. The composite resin material used for dental bonding forms a durable, stain-resistant surface that is smoothed and polished to give teeth a natural appearance and feel.
Our patients are amazed at how tooth bonding dramatically improves their smiles in just one short dental visit. Compared to more extensive procedures t such as dental crowns, bonding removes a minimal amount of tooth enamel and takes only takes 30-60 minutes from start to finish. With a good oral hygiene routine and proper care, dental bonding can last three to ten years or more.
After cleaning the tooth to get rid of any plaque on the surface, your dentist will select a shade of composite material that most closely matches the natural shade of your teeth. If there is any decay, discomfort, or sensitivity, a local anesthetic can be used to numb the area.
Your dentist then etches the surface of the tooth with a roughing gel and applies a conditioning solution to help the composite resin properly adhere to your tooth. The dental bonding material is applied and sculpted to obtain the most esthetic form.
