Dental bonding is minimally invasive and usually completed in one visit.
The preparation for dental bonding is straightforward and often requires no advanced preparation or anesthesia unless the bonding is being used to fill a decayed tooth. Dr. Renas will use a shade guide to select a composite resin color that closely matches the color of your natural teeth. This step is crucial to ensure the bonded tooth blends seamlessly with the rest of your teeth.
Once a natural, aesthetic color match is found, Dr. Renas will slightly etch the surface of the tooth to roughen it. A conditioning liquid is then applied, which helps the bonding material adhere to the tooth. The tooth-colored, putty-like resin is then applied, molded, and smoothed to the desired shape.
The final step in the dental bonding process involves hardening the resin. Dr. Renas will use a special light or laser to harden the material. Once the material is hard, Dr. Renas will further trim and shape it. Finally, the tooth is polished until it matches the sheen of the rest of the tooth surface.
Dental bonding can dramatically improve your smile by correcting small cosmetic imperfections. The composite resin used in dental bonding can be shaped and polished to match the surrounding teeth, making it virtually invisible to the naked eye.
Dental bonding is a minimally invasive procedure. Unlike crowns or veneers, which require significant tooth structure removal, dental bonding involves little to no removal of tooth enamel. This makes it a safe and less painful option for improving your smile.
Compared to other cosmetic dental procedures, dental bonding is relatively inexpensive. It’s an affordable solution for patients who want to enhance their smiles without breaking the bank.
Dental bonding can last up to 10 years with proper care.
