How Does Tooth Bonding Work?
When you come to see your local dentist for a consultation they might see a tooth that would be a candidate for tooth bonding. Not all teeth qualify for this procedure. Tooth bonding works best on teeth that have only suffered minor damage as opposed to one that is severely decayed or if it is missing. In these cases, a tooth implant or dental crown is the better option.
If bonding would work well for your tooth the next step is to determine the color for the bonding. An experienced trusted dentist near you will be able to choose the color that most closely matches your teeth’s natural color. If you are unhappy with your teeth’s color and wish them to be whiter it is important to get them professionally whitened before you apply the bonding since the bonding resin will not change color.
The actual procedure of adding the tooth bond to the chipped or broken tooth is fairly seamless and quick. In most cases, it doesn’t even require anesthesia, making it a painless and non-invasive treatment. Your local NYC dentist will prepare the tooth for the bonding by creating a rough surface on the enamel. Then they will apply a bonding agent making it easier for the bonding to stick to the tooth. The next step is to apply the composite resin bonding material to the tooth. Once it is applied the dentist will shape and polish the resin so that it matches the natural shape of your tooth. After the bonding is correctly shaped a UV light is used to dry the bonding quickly and effortlessly. And then you are on your way again with your beautiful newly repaired tooth. And because the UV light perfectly cures the bonding you can eat and drink right away.
Are Tooth Bondings Right for You?
If you are unhappy with your silver/mercury fillings, then bondings are a fantastic choice that provides a safe and effective alternative. If you have cavities, Dr. Jalbout will remove the cavity and fill your teeth with white tooth-colored bondings using FDA-approved materials that are BPA-free and stain-resistant. Dr. Jalbout does not use silver fillings as their mercury content is unhealthy and environmentally harmful.
