What Dental Issues Can Bonding Resolve?

Remove decay

Dental bonding is one of the most versatile dental treatments. For starters, you can get dental bonding to fill cavities caused by tooth decay and stop it from spreading to neighboring teeth. The dentist will remove the decayed parts, disinfect the tooth, and finally seal the void with dental bonding material.

Restoring

Dentists might also recommend dental bonding for repairing small cracks and chips in the teeth. The bonding material closely mimics the tooth’s natural color and hence makes an excellent filler material for cracks and chips.

A better appearance

Patients with minor stains and discoloration can also benefit from dental bonding treatments. The dental bonding material can hide the discoloration, giving you a flawless smile without using strong bleaching agents.

What To Expect During Dental Bonding

Examination and Color Matching

The first step in the dental bonding process is to determine the suitability of the procedure for you. To do so, Dr. Girmscheid will conduct a series of examinations to determine the extent of dental decay, staining, and the size of the chips and cracks on your tooth. If you qualify for dental bonding, she’ll compare your tooth’s color to a color chart to pick a color that closely resembles your tooth’s color.

Preparation and Application of Composite Resin

Tooth preparation involves applying a mild etching acid to the tooth’s surface. Etching increases the surface area for bonding, thus helping the composite resin stick to the tooth. After etching, Dr. Girmscheid will apply the composite resin to the affected tooth, one layer after the next until the desired result.

Sculpting and Bonding

With sufficient resin material on the affected teeth, Dr. Girmscheid will carefully sculpt it to match your tooth’s contours. She’ll then remove the excess material and ensure it matches the rest of the teeth. Once satisfied, she’ll use a special blue light to cure the resin material and secure it to the affected tooth.

Finishing and Bite Adjustment

Dr. Girmscheid will put some final touches on the bonded teeth, polishing them with a rubber cap and polishing paste to make them look more natural. She’ll also ask you to bite into a pad to register your bite. All necessary adjustments will be made at this point, before releasing you with instructions for taking care of your bonded teeth.
