What Happens During Your Appointment for a Filling or Tooth Bonding?

At Espire Dental Greeley, we prioritize your comfort during every step of your visit. Whether you need a filling or bonding, we make the process smooth and pain-free.

Fillings Procedure:

Thorough Examination: Our dentist will examine the affected tooth and, if necessary, take X-rays to see the decay.
Preparation: We’ll numb the area around the tooth to ensure you’re comfortable before gently removing any decay.
Tooth-Colored Filling Placement: Once the tooth is clean, we’ll fill the cavity with a tooth-colored composite resin, shaping it to match your natural tooth. After that, we harden the material with a special light, ensuring a seamless restoration.

Tooth Bonding Procedure:

Consultation: During the consultation, we’ll assess the affected tooth and discuss your desired results to ensure the bonding will meet your expectations.
Preparation & Application: The tooth is prepared by slightly roughening its surface. We then apply a composite resin that matches the shade of your natural teeth.
Shaping & Polishing: The resin is molded to the perfect shape before being hardened with a UV light. Finally, the bonded tooth is polished for a natural finish.

How long do fillings and bonding last?

With proper care, fillings and tooth bonding can last for many years. Fillings generally last 7-15 years, while bonding can last 5-10 years. Regular dental visits help monitor the condition of your restorations.

Will the fillings or bonding be noticeable?

No! We use tooth-colored materials that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Whether you have a filling or bonding, the restoration will look just like your natural tooth.

Is the procedure painful?

Both procedures are minimally invasive and typically cause little to no discomfort. If needed, we’ll use local anesthesia to numb the area, ensuring your visit is comfortable.

What’s the difference between fillings and bonding?

Fillings are used to repair teeth damaged by decay, while bonding is typically used to repair minor cosmetic flaws like chips or gaps. Both use tooth-colored and durable composite materials.

How do I care for my teeth after a filling or bonding?

Caring for your teeth after these procedures is simple: maintain good oral hygiene, avoid hard or sticky foods that could damage the restoration, and visit your dentist regularly for checkups.

Can tooth bonding fix gaps or crooked teeth?

Yes, bonding is a great option for fixing minor cosmetic issues like gaps between teeth or slight crookedness. It’s a quick and cost-effective solution to enhance the appearance of your smile.
