What Can I Expect During My Appointment?
In general, the cosmetic bonding procedure takes one trip to our office. While most people don’t need anesthesia for dental bonding, it’s important to remember that each patient is different. For example, you may require local anesthetic if our dentists are repairing a decayed tooth.
Next, we’ll use a shade guide to ensure the composite resin is a perfect color-match to the rest of your smile. To start the bonding process, one of our dentists will roughen the surface of your tooth and apply a conditioning liquid. This will help ensure the composite resin makes a strong connection with your tooth.
For the next step, the dentist will apply and shape the resin onto your tooth and harden it in place with either a light or laser. Once the material hardens, we’ll make slight adjustments and polish it so it matches the rest of your tooth.
