How Does Dental Bonding Work?

Dental bonding is a fairly easy process. It begins with shade selection so that the composite resin most closely matches the shade of the natural teeth. Then, the surface of the teeth is etched and roughened,and a conditioning material is placed to help the bonding material to adhere. The actual resin is similar to putty, and it is molded to match the desired shape of the tooth. A UV light is then used to harden the material.

After the bonding material hardens it is trimmed and shaped. Then, the tooth is polished so that the sheen matches the natural teeth. The entire process takes from 30-60 minutes to complete, but you may need multiple visits if you are having several teeth bonded.
