With tooth bonding, our team can provide same-day improvement for the shape and color of your teeth. In just one sitting, we can take on multiple esthetic issues. In today’s blog, your Lake Orion, MI, dentist talks about how we help smiles truly shine in only one visit with tooth bonding!
The Tooth Bonding Procedure
The bonding procedure uses a holistic and metal-free material known as composite resin, which is safe for all ages. The same material is employed as part of our tooth-colored tooth fillings. A mixture of glass-like and acrylic-like particles, this can be shaded to blend with your smile. The procedure involves our team numbing the tooth to ensure you stay comfortable, using a local anesthesia. We then clean the tooth and may etch the outer surface. We prepare and shade the composite resin to ensure it can blend with your tooth. We apply the material in several layers, and then shape and sculpt the tooth as the composite resin is cured beneath a special light. The last step is to polish the tooth for a brighter appearance.
The Positive Impacts on Your Smile
In only one visit, we can use bonding to repair teeth. In addition to fixing minor chips and cracks, we can also lengthen worn down tooth structure and correct misshapen teeth too. The procedure also allows our team to fill in the gaps or black triangle spaces between your teeth. If you have teeth stains too severe to be removed with teeth whitening, we can instantly mask them. For some, this offers a smile makeover in only one visit! We can also contour sections of teeth, sanding and buffing them to correct minor esthetic issues with the shape and surfaces of your smile.
Our Lifelike Dental Fillings
What if we discover a cavity in your tooth? With the same composite resin material, we can secure a filling that bonds with the tooth and looks natural. We numb the tooth and remove decay, and then we clean it and may in some cases etch the outer surfaces. We apply the shade material in several layers just as do for bonding, and then we reshape the tooth while the composite resin cures. In one sitting we prevent your cavity from becoming an infection, keeping your smile whole and comfortable.
