Dental Bonding

The treatment needs a little advance preparation but there is no need for the use of anesthesia unless the bonding is used to fill a decayed tooth that can cause a slight amount of pain. The surgery will take about 20 – 60 minutes per tooth to perform. The dentist will use a shade guide to select a composite resin color that is the nearest to match the color of the tooth to be bonded. The surface of the tooth will be roughened and a conditioning liquid will be applied which will help the bonding material adhere to the tooth. The tooth colored resin is then applied, molded and smoothed to the desired shape. Once ready an ultraviolet light or laser will be used to harden the material. When the material is hardened and ready, the dentist will trim and shape it and polish it to match the rest of the tooth surface.

• Patients must brush their teeth before they come to the clinic
• There are almost no restrictions unless told by the dentist

• Patients must brush the teeth twice a day using toothpaste, containing fluoride. Toothbrush must be renewed every 3 months

• Patients must floss the teeth once a day and make sure all plaque is removed before moving to the next tooth

• Patients must show care to drink water after meals as it will help flush food particles and reduce acidity levels in the mouth
