Dental Bonding in Winter Garden, FL

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The tooth is prepared for the procedure by lightly etching the surface and applying a bonding liquid. Once the liquid sets, a plastic resin is applied and sculpted into the desired shape by the dentist. Once set, the resin is trimmed, smoothed, and polished to a natural appearance. The main advantage of bonding is it can all be done in one visit, and there is no lab involved like what we do with veneers or crowns.

CONSIDERATIONS

The bonding procedure can often be completed in a single office visit and can improve the appearance of a tooth significantly. However, since it is a plastic resin, it will not be as strong and possibly as long-lasting as a veneer or a crown.
