What Is Cosmetic Dental Bonding?
Cosmetic bonding is a non-invasive cosmetic dentistry treatment. Here’s what the process looks like.
- A rubber dam is inserted. This helps isolate the teeth while keeping moisture out.
- A painless phosphoric acid solution is applied to your tooth’s surface. This acid etching of the tooth helps strengthen the composite bond and adhesive. After leaving the acid on your teeth for 15 seconds, our team will remove the acid and replace it with a liquid bonding agent.
- The tooth’s surface is covered with a putty-like composite resin in stages. It’s followed up by shaping and sculpting.
- Our team uses a high-intensity light to harden the composite layers. Then, the previous step is repeated and cured until the filling is in its final form.
- The process is finished by ensuring the bonded resin doesn’t become dislodged or cause any tooth sensitivity.
