Little preparation is needed for a dental bonding procedure. In most cases, we won’t use anesthesia unless the crack or chip is near a nerve or if the tooth needs to be reshaped.
First, Dr. Kosinksi will choose a composite resin that matches the color of your natural tooth.
He’ll then apply a solution to the surface of the tooth so it becomes rough, which will help the material stay in place. The resin is then applied to the tooth, molded, and smoothed to a perfect shape.
Once the resin is applied, Dr. Kosinksi will use ultraviolet light or laser to harden the material and further trim and polish it to perfection. From there, you can leave with a newly restored smile.
