Bonding

Bonding

Patients that are not happy with their smile have options when it comes to restoring it. One of the options we provide here in our New York, NY dental practice is bonding.

 

Bonding is one of the simpler procedures to improve the appearance of teeth, including covering up staining, filling a cavity with a tooth-colored material, and fixing gaps or spaces in the teeth. Bonding is done using composite resin, which can be mixed to any shade to match the natural teeth. It hardens with an LED light, so the process is quick and easy.

 

Here are the basic steps to getting bonding performed by Dr. Brandon Huang:

 

1. The teeth to be treated are cleaned thoroughly to remove any plaque or decay.

2. The surface of the teeth are prepared by being scuffed and possibly filed down. This process helps the composite resin material adhere better.

3. The bonding resin is mixed by our dentist, matching the color to the patient’s natural tooth.

4. The composite resin material is painted on the tooth and left to dry using an LED light. It is then polished once dry.
