What to Expect with Tooth Bonding and Filling Treatment at Espire Dental Loveland

At Espire Dental Loveland, we make the process of getting fillings or bonding as easy and comfortable as possible. Here’s what you can expect when you come in for your treatment:

Personalized Consultation: Your journey begins with a thorough consultation. Whether you need a filling to repair a cavity or bonding to enhance your smile, we’ll assess your needs and recommend the best treatment option for you. We’ll also match the composite resin to the shade of your natural teeth for a seamless result.
Tooth Preparation: For fillings, we’ll gently remove any decayed or damaged portions of the tooth and clean the area to prepare it for the composite resin. For bonding, minimal preparation is needed, as we’ll roughen the surface of the tooth to help the resin adhere.
Application of Composite Resin: Once the tooth is prepared, we’ll apply the tooth-colored composite resin in layers, carefully sculpting it to restore its shape and function. The resin is then molded for bonding to cover chips, gaps, or discoloration, ensuring a natural look. We’ll use a special light to harden the resin, making it strong and durable.
Final Shaping and Polishing: After the composite resin has hardened, we’ll make any final adjustments to ensure a comfortable bite and smooth, natural appearance. Finally, the tooth will be polished to match the shine of your natural teeth, leaving you with a beautifully restored smile.

How long do tooth-colored fillings last?

With good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, composite fillings can last 10 years or more. The longevity depends on factors such as the size of the filling and your daily oral habits.

Is tooth bonding permanent?

Bonding is not considered permanent, but it is long-lasting. With proper care, it can last 5 to 10 years before it needs to be touched up or replaced.

Does getting a filling or bonding hurt?

No, both procedures are typically painless. We’ll use local anesthesia to numb the area for fillings, and bonding usually requires no anesthesia at all. After the procedure, you may experience mild sensitivity, but this should subside quickly.

How do I care for my fillings or tooth bonding?

Caring for fillings and bonding is just like caring for your natural teeth. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and attend regular dental checkups. Avoid biting down on hard objects like ice or pens, which can damage the resin.

Can bonding fix large gaps or crooked teeth?

Bonding is ideal for small gaps or minor imperfections. For larger gaps or more significant alignment issues, we may recommend orthodontic treatment, such as Invisalign.

Will my fillings or bonding stain over time?

The composite resin used in fillings and bonding is resistant to staining but can still discolor over time with exposure to coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco. Regular dental cleanings and good oral hygiene can help prevent stains.
