What is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure where a tooth-colored resin material is applied and hardened to a tooth to improve its appearance. The material bonds with the tooth, improving the overall look of your smile. It’s commonly used to repair chipped or cracked teeth, close small gaps, or change the shape or color of teeth.
What to Expect for the Dental Bonding?
In a dental bonding procedure, your dentist will first choose a resin color that mimics your natural tooth. Then, they will lightly etch and apply a conditioning liquid to the tooth surface to ensure a strong bond. Next, the tooth-colored resin is applied, molded, and shaped to the desired form. A special light or laser hardens the material, followed by trimming, shaping, and polishing for a natural look that matches your surrounding teeth. The entire process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes per tooth, and you’ll see the improvement right away. While you might experience temporary hot and cold sensitivity for a few days after, you’ll be able to enjoy your new smile. Your dentist may also schedule a follow-up appointment to check the bonding and make any adjustments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the dental bonding procedure painful?
Fear not! Dental bonding is generally a painless procedure. In most cases, anesthesia isn’t required. Your dentist will likely roughen the tooth surface to create a better bond, which might cause a slight tingling sensation, but discomfort is minimal. If bonding is used to address a cavity, local anesthesia might be used for added comfort.
How much does dental bonding cost in Sacramento?
The cost of dental bonding in Sacramento can vary depending on the complexity of the procedure, the dentist’s experience, and your specific needs. Typically, it ranges from $300 to $600 per tooth. To get a precise estimate, consult with local dentists in Sacramento. Don’t hesitate to ask about their pricing structure and any payment options they offer.
Can I whiten my bonded teeth?
While your natural smile can be brightened with whitening treatments, the bonding material itself isn’t color-changing magic. It won’t respond to whitening products. If you’re considering whitening your teeth, it’s best to do so before undergoing dental bonding to ensure a uniform, bright smile. Discuss your whitening goals with your dentist beforehand to create a personalized treatment plan.
