Dental bonding can often be completed in a single visit to the pediatric dentist!
The next step is the application of the bonding material. Dr. Sasco will gently roughen the surface of the tooth and apply a conditioning liquid. This helps the bonding material adhere to the tooth. The tooth-colored, putty-like resin is then applied, molded, and smoothed to the desired shape.
The final step in the process is hardening the resin. Dr. Sasco will use a special light or laser to harden the material. Once the bonding is hard, she will trim, shape, and polish it to match the sheen of the rest of the tooth surface.
One of the main benefits of dental bonding is that it's a quick and simple procedure. Most bonding procedures can be done in one office visit, without the need for anesthesia unless the bonding is being used to fill a decayed tooth.
Dental bonding is a great way to improve the appearance of your child's teeth. The composite resin used in bonding can be shaped and polished to match the surrounding teeth, making it almost impossible to tell that any work has been done.
Another advantage of dental bonding is that it requires minimal tooth enamel removal compared to veneers and crowns. This makes it a more conservative treatment that preserves more of your child's natural tooth structure.
The resin used in dental bonding is the same material used for white fillings!
