Patients in Greenville, TX with cracks or gaps in their teeth are turning to dental bonding to restore their smile. Dr. Christopher Emuedue of Greenville Family Dentistry has become the go-to local dentist for bonding procedures. Unlike veneers, which are manufactured in a laboratory and require a customized mold, bonding can be done in a single visit.
Dental bonding is not just used to repair teeth that are cracked or damaged, it is also used to repair decayed teeth, improve discoloration of teeth and even change the shape of teeth. The procedure for dental bonding is non-invasive and quite simple. Patients are not required to be sedated for the procedure. Dr. Emuedue will utilize a shade guide in the beginning to match the resin color to the natural color of your teeth so it looks perfectly natural.
After selecting the proper shade, Dr. Emuedue will begin the bonding process. It begins with abrading or roughening the surface of the tooth. The tooth will then be coated lightly with a conditioning liquid. This liquid will help the bonding material adhere to the tooth. Once the tooth is prepared, Dr. Emuedue will simply apply the tooth-colored putty and mold it to the proper shape and size. The material is then hardened with an ultraviolet light. The final step is polishing the area to give you a fresh, vibrant smile. The bonding process typically takes 30 minutes to an hour. When it comes to maintenance, bonded teeth should be treated just as your regular teeth. They can be stained by tea, coffee and cigarettes just as normal teeth so regular brushing and flossing is highly recommended.
