A Single-Visit Appointment
What to Expect
The first step is to have a consultation and make sure that bonding is appropriate for you. We’ll check the health of your gums and teeth. If we believe there are other options that will help you reach your desired outcomes, we’ll be sure to discuss them with you.
Once you have decided on bonding, we’ll choose the correct shade of the composite resin material that is used in bonding. Your teeth will then be etched using a mild acid so that the material can adhere to it. Each tooth is coated with a bonding liquid, then the resin is applied. Each tooth is molded and smoothed.
Since the material is putty-like, it must be hardened. We’ll do so with a specialized light. Your teeth can then be polished to a luminous finish.
Maintaining Your Results
After you’ve competed your procedure for cosmetic bonding, you want your results to last as long as possible. Limiting coffee, tea and the use of tobacco, will help extend the life of your restorations which can stain. Be sure to brush and floss your teeth as usual. Seeing your hygienist for your regular cleaning will help remove minor stains and keep your bonding in great shape.
