Restore Your Smile with Expert Dental Bonding

When a tooth suffers minor mishaps, such as cracks, chips, or light decay, there’s a simple, cost-effective solution that can bring your smile back to its natural self — dental bonding. It has limitations, but if you have a small chip, crack or insignificant amount of decay, it may be a solution to your dental issue. (Early intervention always reaps the easiest and least costly dental treatment.)

At our practice, our dentists can discern when you can appropriately use dental bonding to correct those minor issues to restore your smile to its beauty.

Understanding the Dental Bonding Process

Dental bonding is a popular, cost-effective procedure often used for cosmetic dental purposes such as repairing chipped or cracked teeth, improving discolored teeth, making teeth look longer, and changing the shape or color of teeth. It can also be used to close spaces between teeth or protect a portion of the tooth’s root that has been exposed when gums recede. Here at our practice in Henderson, NV, we ensure that each step of the dental bonding process is performed with utmost precision and care to achieve the best results for our patients. Here’s what you can expect during the dental bonding process:

1. Consultation and Evaluation

The first step is a consultation with Dr. Gregg Hendrickson, who will evaluate the health of your teeth and discuss your aesthetic goals. This initial meeting is crucial to determine whether dental bonding is the appropriate treatment for you. During this consultation, you can ask questions and express any concerns you might have.

2. Preparation

Dental bonding Henderson patients trust requires minimal preparation. Unlike veneers or crowns, the natural structure of your teeth generally does not need to be altered significantly. In some cases, no anesthesia is necessary unless the bonding is being used to fill a decayed tooth. Dr. Hendrickson will select a composite resin color that closely matches the natural color of your existing teeth, ensuring a seamless look.

3. The Bonding Process

The surface of the tooth will be slightly roughened and a conditioning liquid will be applied. These steps help the bonding material adhere to the tooth. Dr. Hendrickson will then apply the tooth-colored, putty-like resin. The resin is molded and smoothed until it’s in the correct shape. The material is then hardened with an ultraviolet light or laser. After the material hardens, further trimming and shaping may be necessary, followed by polishing the resin until it matches the sheen of the rest of the tooth surface.

4. Finishing Touches

The final step in the dental bonding process is a check for fit and bite. Dr. Hendrickson will have you bite down to ensure that everything feels comfortable and that your bite is aligned correctly. Any final adjustments are made at this point. The entire process usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes per tooth and can be completed in a single visit.

5. Post-Procedure Care

After the procedure, no special care is required for bonded teeth. Simply follow good oral hygiene practices: brush your teeth twice a day, floss at least once daily, and visit our dental clinic in Henderson regularly for cleanings and exams. However, it’s important to avoid habits that could damage the bonding material, such as biting on hard objects, chewing on pens, or using your teeth to open packaging.
