How Does Cosmetic Dental Bonding Work
Dental bonding is a rather simple operation. First, our doctors will clean the area where he will administer the bonding glue. Then he’ll select a resin that matches your tooth color. He will next connect and mold the resin to the contour of the tooth.
The resin is applied in layers until the area achieves the desired appearance. Our team will then solidify the resin with UV light. Once the resin has cured, the next step is to ensure that the tooth appears properly. The last step is to polish the tooth.
After polishing, the bonded tooth looks smooth and natural. The procedure is usually completed during a single visit and typically does not require anesthesia unless bonding is used to repair a cavity or damaged area.
