In dental bonding, a composite resin material is applied to the tooth and then sculpted and shaped to cover damaged areas or to fill in gaps. This material comes in several shades so it can be matched to the natural color of your tooth. Bonding usually requires only one visit, so it is less time-consuming and less expensive than other tooth restoration methods. If you’re considering dental bonding, the following information will provide you with a good introduction to the procedure. For more detailed information about how this procedure will help you, we recommend that you consult a cosmetic dentist with experience in dental bonding.
The dentist will prepare your tooth for treatment by roughening and shaping or contouring the surface. Next he/she will apply a conditioning solution and bonding agent that together act as a strong adhesive or glue, to ensure that the composite will adhere. Next, he/she will apply the putty-like tooth colored composite material, sculpting it to correct the problem areas. Several layers of the composite material may be necessary in order to achieve the best results. To cure and harden the material, a high-intensity light or a chemical agent may be used. Finally, your dentist will smooth and polish your tooth to give it an even, natural contour.
For several weeks after the procedure, you may experience some sensitivity in the treated tooth, but this should diminish with time.
To maintain the results achieved by this procedure, it is important to practice good oral hygiene. Follow these steps to care for your teeth after bonding:
• Keep your teeth clean by brushing and flossing regularly.
• Schedule regular professional cleanings by your dentist or dental hygienist.
• Use gentle toothpastes that are safe for bonded teeth. Ask your dentist for recommendations.
• Slice hard foods like apples and carrots before eating them.
• Avoid chewing on hard objects like fingernails, pencils, or paperclips.
