What is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding in Northampton is a cosmetic dentistry procedure used for a variety of purposes, depending on the patient’s desires. A resinous material is used in this type of procedure, which closely matches the color of surrounding teeth. This resin is bonded to a tooth to correct:
- Cracked or chipped teeth
- Decayed teeth
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Correcting the size of a tooth
- As a substitute for amalgam fillings
For most patients, the entire procedure takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how many teeth require treatment. Your dentist will carefully select a resin color that matches your surrounding teeth. They will etch the treated teeth’s surfaces and apply a bonding agent. This ensures that the composite adheres better to your teeth.
Next, your dentist will progressively sculpt the composite as it is applied, layer by layer. A special UV light will be used to harden this material once enough has been applied into the desired shape. This material will dry, and your dentist will then polish the material for a smooth finish.
You will not need anesthesia for a dental bonding procedure.
Who is a Good Candidate for Dental Bonding?
Patients who are unhappy with the minor flaws affecting their smile are often good candidates for dental bonding. However, an oral examination must occur during a scheduled consultation before treatment can be provided.
This allows our team to carefully evaluate your oral health and identify signs or symptoms of gum disease, tooth decay, and other conditions. If we notice any dental concerns, we will recommend appropriate treatment before pursuing dental bonding.
