Dental Bonding Gladewater

Dentist Gladewater

Since it is usually painless and quick, there should be no cause for concern with this procedure. Your dentist will start by making a surface-layer etching on your tooth or teeth, and then to help ensure the perfect bonding of the resin to your teeth, he or she will apply a conditioning gel over the etching.

This resin is then matched to your existing teeth or tooth color and contour shaped to the adjoining teeth. A special light is then used to harden the resin and finally polish the tooth or teeth, whatever the situation might be, into the desired shape.

This dental bonding and contouring procedure requires no anesthesia, and is performed in your dentist’s office.

As mentioned earlier in this article, a good, at-home oral hygiene program can extend the expected duration of three to ten years for the results this procedure after it is completed. The longer time duration can be obtained for this procedure by the proper at-home care, coupled with regular dental exams and cleanings.

It is definitely worth noting at this point, that you should definitely avoid biting down on any hard foods. You should also quit smoking as soon as possible, and avoid all drinks and food groups that are known to stain teeth, since the dental bonding and contouring process is easier to chip or stain than porcelain dental veneers.

Once the initial results begin to diminish, it is easy to prolong those results with a retreating.
