The procedure is relatively simple and can be completed in one office visit. Here are the steps involved in getting dental bonding near you:
Your dentist will evaluate your tooth to determine if bonding is the best repair option. If so, they will choose a shade of resin that closely matches your natural tooth color.
The tooth will be prepared for bonding by roughening up the surface with an abrasive material. This will help the resin bond better to the tooth.
The resin will be applied to the tooth and shaped to match the contours of your natural tooth. The resin material hardens quickly, but the dentist will use a special light to hasten the process.
Once the resin has hardened, your dentist will Trim off any excess and polish the bonded area to match the rest of your tooth surface.
