A fairly quick cosmetic dentistry procedure is tooth bonding. Most of the time, it just takes one office visit to finish; the length of time depends on how much bonding is required. A simple bonding procedure for small flaws may take an hour or more.

Since tooth bonding is a less intrusive process, anesthesia is frequently not necessary. The procedure includes softly etching the tooth’s surface in preparation, which usually doesn’t hurt. However, local anesthetic may be administered to guarantee a pain-free procedure if bonding is used to treat dental decay or if a patient is extremely sensitive.

Even though the bonded material is strong, it’s best to avoid eating anything sticky or hard right after the treatment to avoid damaging it. There is no recovery period, and patients may typically go back to eating and drinking as usual as soon as the bonding is over. To guarantee the durability of the bonding, it is imperative to adhere to any post-procedure advice given by the dentist.
