No, dental bonding isn’t painful; it’s a non-invasive cosmetic procedure where we artfully shape composite resin directly onto your teeth. And because we aren’t removing any tooth enamel and affecting your tooth’s nerves, most people don’t experience discomfort, so anesthesia isn’t necessary.
Dental bonding is an affordable way to repair chipped, gapped, or discolored teeth.
The Dental Bonding Procedure
For this popular cosmetic procedure, we’ll begin by using a shade guide to determine the resin that matches your natural tooth color.
Next, we apply an etching solution to create the rough texture needed for the bonding agent to properly adhere.
We then add the bonding agent so the resin will stick to your teeth before applying the composite resin. We sculpt the resin into the desired shape, fixing chips, cracks, and gaps.
With a special light, we cure the resin before polishing your new smile.
That’s it!
It is possible to experience some sensitivity after your treatment, usually after eating or drinking something hot or cold. However, this mild discomfort usually subsides after a few days.
