Benefits Of Dental Bonding

How Is Dental Bonding Done?

The procedure for dental bonding or cosmetic bonding is as follows:

  1. The Preparation: Preparation for dental bonding does not take a lot of time. During this stage, the dentist will choose a composite resin color that is as close as possible to the color of your tooth. Anesthesia is not necessary unless dental bonding is done to fill cavities.

  2. The Bonding Process: The dentist will roughen up the surface of the tooth and apply a conditioning liquid. This will help the bonding material or the composite resin to properly adhere to the surface of the tooth. Then the bonding material or the composite resin will be applied, molded, and smoothened. After this, the bonding material or the composite resin will be hardened using a special light or laser. Once it hardens, the dentist will sharpen the resin by trimming it and then polish it to make it look like your natural tooth.

  3. Duration: The dental bonding process takes around 30 to 60 minutes per tooth.

How To Care For Dental Bonding After The Treatment?

It is very important to take care of your bonded teeth after the dental bonding treatment, to ensure that the dental bonding lasts for a long time. Here are a few guidelines to follow after your dental bonding treatment:

Though composite resin is quite strong, it is not as strong as natural teeth and bad habits like biting your nails or grinding your teeth may cause the dental bonding to weaken and break. If you feel any sharp or rough edges after the procedure, or if you accidentally chip or break the composite resin bonding, book an appointment immediately.
