More About Dental Bonding
Our Allentown, PA dentist uses composite resin to make these improvements on the surface of a patient’s teeth This material helps to add strength to weak teeth. It can bond directly to the surface of the teeth that are being treated. After the bonding process is complete, the material is invisible to the eye. The bonding process takes far less time than other procedures with similar goals in mind.
Dental bonding is used in order to repair chips, broken teeth or other damage. Before the procedure begins, the surface of the teeth is cleaned and then a gel is applied. This gel allows the bonding material to work better by opening the pores on the surface. The gel is rinsed off first before the composite resin material is painted on in thin layers. A curing light is then used to harden the material. The tooth or teeth being treated are then polished to finish the bonding procedure.
Caring for bonding teeth is the same as any other teeth. Regular brushing and flossing are needed to allow these teeth to stay strong for years to come. A regular schedule of dental examinations and dental cleanings once every six months also helps to maintain your oral health as well.
