Dental Bonding in Scottsdale, AZ

Dental bonding is a rather simple procedure. First, Dr. Brittain will clean the area where he will apply the bonding resin. Then, he will choose a resin that matches your tooth color. Afterward, he will attach and mold the resin to the shape of the tooth. The resin is applied layer by layer until the area has the desired look. Dr. Brittain will then harden the resin using an ultraviolet light. Once the resin has hardened, the last step is to make sure that the tooth looks correct. The final step is to polish the tooth.

Anyone interested in dental bonding should be aware that resin can stain and is most likely to do so within the first few hours after treatment. This is why it’s important that you avoid drinking liquids like coffee, tea, or red wine. You should also not smoke during this time. Our cosmetic dentist in Scottsdale, therefore, advises following these precautions closely to ensure the longevity of your results.

• Have a chipped, cracked, or slightly fractured tooth
• Want to close small gaps between teeth without orthodontic treatment
• Have a tooth that appears shorter than the surrounding teeth
• Are dealing with minor discoloration that whitening hasn't resolved
• Have a cavity that you'd prefer restored with tooth-colored resin rather than metal
