What is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is a procedure in which a tooth-colored resin (a type of durable plastic) is applied to the tooth and hardened with a special light, which ultimately “bonds” the material to the tooth to restore or improve a person’s smile. Our dentist uses bonding to fix a decayed, chipped, fractured, or discolored tooth. During the procedure, the dentist carefully shapes the resin to match your natural tooth. Dr. Morrison then hardens it with a special light, allowing the material to bond fully.
Once the resin has hardened, the final step is to ensure the tooth looks correct. The final step is to trim and polish the tooth to ensure a smooth, natural-looking result.
Patients considering dental bonding should be aware that resin can stain and is most likely to do so within the first few hours after treatment. That is why you must avoid drinking liquids like coffee, tea, or red wine. You should also avoid smoking during this time to achieve the best possible results.
