How does the bonding procedure work?
Dental bonding can be done in just one office visit because it requires no molds to be made and no use of a dental laboratory. First, a mild etching solution will be applied to the surface of the tooth, allowing the bonding material to adhere, and a thin plastic material applied. Then the bonding is placed on the tooth and molded to the desired shape. Next, a high-intensity light is used to cure, or harden the bonding so that it’s now part of your tooth. To complete the procedure, Dr. Evola might do a little touch-up work and then polish the tooth until it looks like the other teeth around it. The process takes anywhere from 30-60 minutes per tooth.
