Dental bonding can be completed in just one visit to the dentist!
The dental bonding process begins with a consultation with Dr. Finney. During this initial meeting, he will evaluate your oral health and discuss your aesthetic goals. If dental bonding is the right solution for you, he will select a composite resin color that closely matches your natural tooth color. The preparation stage requires little to no anesthesia unless the bonding is being used to fill a decayed tooth.
Once the right shade has been chosen, Dr. Finney will prepare the tooth surface for the bonding process. This involves slightly roughening the surface of the tooth and applying a conditioning liquid, which helps the bonding material adhere to the tooth. Then, the tooth-colored resin is applied, molded, and smoothed to the desired shape.
The final step of the dental bonding process involves hardening the resin using a special light. Once the material is set, Dr. Finney will further trim and shape it, and then polish it until it matches the sheen of the rest of your tooth surface. This final step ensures that the bonded tooth looks natural and blends seamlessly with your smile.
One of the significant benefits of dental bonding is its versatility. It can be used to correct a variety of dental issues, including chips, cracks, discoloration, and gaps between teeth. It's also a great solution for changing the shape of teeth or making them appear longer. Additionally, dental bonding can be matched to the color of your existing teeth, ensuring a natural-looking result that enhances your overall smile.
Dental bonding is a quick procedure that typically requires only one visit to the dentist. This makes it a convenient option for patients who want to improve their smile but have a busy schedule. Plus, unless it's being used to fill a decayed tooth, anesthesia is often not necessary. The simplicity of the process and minimal downtime means you can return to your daily activities immediately with renewed confidence in your smile.
If gum recession has exposed some of your tooth roots, dental bonding can be used to protect these areas. This not only improves the appearance of your smile but also helps prevent sensitivity to hot and cold.
