Dental Bonding
East Wenatchee, WA
 Composite bonding is a unique and fairly pain free dental procedure. When a tooth has received damage or becomes stained either as a result from minor injury or even smoking, this comparatively inexpensive procedure provides a quick and simple solution. Another benefit to using this type of procedure over other more invasive ones is the ability to take much less time away from your busy life. It may not even require anesthesia as there is no drilling into the tooth. The procedure can be done in the office over the course of just one appointment. It is that straightforward.
The Ease of the Cosmetic Bonding Process
A composite material that can be closely matched to the color of the existing teeth is skillfully applied by the dentist to the prepared tooth. The tooth is gently prepared to ensure your comfort and that the composite will hold to the tooth's surface as it hardens. Once applied, it will be easily shaped to provide a very natural and seamless appearance. A light is generally used in order for the material to set even quicker. Once it is completely hardened, the tooth will then be gently polished to ensure there are no snags or sharp points. Then, it will be buffed to make sure the surface of the tooth is as shiny as the other teeth. No one will ever be able to tell it is not a natural tooth!
Composite Bonding Limits
Composite bonding may not be for everyone. Smokers should not use this process unless they have completely quit smoking as the smoke can cause staining on the composite material. Because the composite is generally thin to keep conformity with the natural tooth's surface, it is more prone to chipping as opposed to crowns or even porcelain veneers. Later on down the road, it may need to be replaced.
