The process begins with preparing your tooth. If there is any damage or decay, it will be removed, and the enamel will be roughened. This helps the bonding material attach more securely. Our dentist will choose a resin in a color that matches your tooth and apply it in thin layers, shaping it and building it up so that it closely resembles your natural tooth in size and shape. Each layer will be cured using a special UV light. This hardens the bonding resin as it forms a chemical bond with your tooth.
Once the bonding is complete, our dentist will trim and shape it further and then polish it. This creates a nice sheen that makes it look just like natural dental enamel. Your restoration is now finished, and you can use it just like any other tooth to bite, talk and smile.
