The bonding material is carefully applied to the tooth structure to cover chips and fissures in the teeth. They help cover staining in teeth and close small openings and spaces between teeth. Bonding is also used to make teeth look longer and change the tooth's shape. During a dental bonding procedure, after discussing the aesthetic goals with the patient, the dentist visually examines the oral cavity and x-rays to assess the teeth and gums to ensure eligibility for the treatment. The presence of oral diseases will necessitate treatment of those conditions first before bonding is placed. How Does Dental Bonding Work?The dental bonding procedure starts with selecting a shade for the composite material to be used. Then the teeth are cleaned to ensure a good environment free of bacteria and plaque. Prepping the teeth also involves roughening the teeth surfaces and applying a dental conditioner to enable the resin to stick to the teeth surface as it is a putty-like substance. The composite material is then applied, contoured, and smoothened to the desired look. The material is then cured or hardened using a laser beam light that bonds the material to the dental surface. How Long Does Dental Bonding Take?The procedure usually takes 30-60 minutes per tooth to fully complete. Does Dental Bonding Hurt?The procedure is not painful; therefore, one need not be sedated. However, any discomfort can be eased by OTC pain relievers. After a bonding procedure, one should observe proper dental hygiene by brushing and flossing at least twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoridated toothpaste. Visiting the dentist regularly for check-ups helps maintain the bonding from wearing out too soon. Patients are also advised to avoid lifestyle habits that might diminish the quality of the dental bonding. Practices such as smoking and drinking alcohol and bruxism could wear out bondings and cause staining.
