Guerrino Dentistry | Dental Bonding

When developing the composite material that is used in the dental bonding process, dentists often focus on getting the right mix of the materials that will exactly match the color and appearance of your natural teeth. This way, the bonded material will not be distinguishable from your teeth. Not all applications of dental bonding are for cosmetic reasons. Sometimes dentists will recommend the procedure to help protect exposed parts of the nerves after a serious case of receding gums.

What Does Guerrino Dentistry Offer For Dental Bonding?

One of the advantages of this process is that it is pretty straightforward and can be done in a single visit. When you come to our clinic for a dental bonding procedure, we will start by applying a special liquid to the tooth that helps the composite material adhere to the tooth more firmly. The material will then be applied to the tooth and a special laser light is used to get it to dry quickly and bond firmly to the tooth.

After this, the dentist will trim the material until the tooth and the bonded material achieve the desired shape. The dentists will suggest staying away from food and drinks that can stain the composite material. These include things like tea, coffee or smoking. It is recommended that one gives the composite material at least 48 hours to set firmly and to avoid unsightly stains. The composite material can stay on the tooth for several years before they need to be replaced.
