What is Dental Bonding?

The dental bonding procedure utilizes a composite resin and is used for a variety of structural as well as cosmetic purposes. One can draw a parallel between dental bonding materials and a sculptor’s clay.

By using dental composite resin bonding, your dentist can:

  • restore chipped or broken teeth
  • fill in gaps
  • reshape or recolor your smile

The Dental Bonding Procedure

A very mild etching solution is applied to your teeth to create very small crevices in the tooth’s enamel structure. These small crevices provide a slightly rough surface permitting a durable resin to bond materials to your teeth.

The resin is then placed on your tooth and high-intensity light cures the resins onto your tooth’s surface—with each individual layer of resin hardening in just minutes.

When the last coat has been applied to your tooth, the bonded material is then sculpted to fit your tooth and finely polished.

The resin comes in many shades so we can match it to your natural teeth.

Due to the layers involved, this procedure will take slightly longer than traditional silver fillings because multiple layers of the bonding material are applied.

Typically, bonding takes an hour to two hours depending on your particular case

For Smaller Corrections

These fillings are color-matched to the tooth and are bonded to the surface for added strength. These are most appropriate for small fillings and front fillings as they may not be as durable for large fillings.
