Anchorage Alaska Tooth Bonding

Unlike with most types of cosmetic dentistry, dental bonding takes very little time and preparation. The only thing your dentist needs to do before applying the bonding resin is match the pigmentation of the resin to your natural tooth color. No anesthesia is necessary because the process isn’t invasive at all.

After preparing the resin accordingly, the dentist will carefully paint a thin layer of the substance on the surfaces of your teeth. Because the material is so thin, your teeth don’t need to be filed down like they do when getting dental veneers, directly layering on the resin is sufficient. Once the dentist reaches all the spots, he or she will dry the resin with an ultraviolet light or a laser, causing the resin to bond with the tooth. The result is a tooth with resin directly attached to it. Dental bonding is an irreversible and permanent cosmetic dentistry procedure.

If you’re interested in dental bonding or if you have more questions about the procedure, make sure to ask one of our dentists about it. At Mint Dental Alaska, we’re always happy to help you with whatever cosmetic procedure you’ve been considering.
