Dental bonding uses a resin material to repair teeth with cavities. This resin material is durable and looks very much like a natural tooth. Dental bonding is used when conditions occur such as:
Before the procedure begins, Dr. Cohen anesthetizes the damaged tooth if necessary. Then, he chooses the correct color of resin to match the color of the rest of your teeth. Next, the surface of the tooth is made rougher, and a liquid applied to it. The resin is applied and formed to fit the shape for the tooth. Following this process, a laser light is used to harden the resin. Finally, Dr. Cohen will finish shaping the tooth and polish it. The dental bonding process takes between 30 and 60 minutes to do per tooth.
Dental bonding remains an easy and inexpensive way to improve the looks and the health of your teeth. In most cases, a dental bonding can be completed in one office visit. A tiny amount of tooth enamel is taken off during the process, and unless the bonding is done to fill a tooth cavity, bonding can be done with no anesthetic.
