The Dental Bonding Procedure

The dental bonding process at Better Living Through Dentistry is simple and typically completed in just one visit. Here is what to expect:

  • Initial Consultation
    Your dentist will assess your dental needs and determine if dental bonding is the right solution for you.
  • Preparation
    The tooth’s surface is lightly etched to ensure the bonding material adheres properly.
  • Application
    A tooth-colored resin is applied, molded, and smoothed to achieve the desired shape.
  • Hardening
    A special light is used to harden the resin, bonding it securely to your tooth.
  • Polishing
    The bonded tooth is polished to match the sheen of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless appearance.

How to Care for Bonded Teeth

To maintain the longevity of your bonded teeth, follow these tips:

  • Brush and floss daily
  • Avoid biting down on hard objects
  • Steer clear of staining foods and beverages
  • Schedule regular dental check-ups
