What to Expect During Your Filling or Tooth Bonding Procedures

At Espire Dental Northfield, we’re committed to making your experience as smooth and comfortable as possible. Here’s what you can expect during your filling or tooth bonding appointment:

  1. Comprehensive Examination: Your appointment begins with a thorough dental exam to check for any cavities or imperfections. If a cavity is detected, we’ll remove the decayed portion of the tooth and prepare it for a filling. For cosmetic bonding, we’ll evaluate your teeth and discuss your goals for the procedure, ensuring the best possible results.
  2. Tooth Preparation: For fillings, the affected tooth will be cleaned and shaped, and a composite resin material will be applied in layers, sculpted, and hardened using a special light. For bonding, the surface of the tooth is lightly etched to help the bonding material adhere properly. We’ll apply the resin, shape it to your tooth’s contours, and polish it to match your natural smile.
  3. Final Results: Once the filling or bonding material has been applied, we’ll ensure that your bite feels comfortable and that the restoration looks flawless. The result is a robust and beautiful restoration that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.
  4. Post-Treatment Care: We’ll guide you on caring for your fillings or bonded teeth after your procedure. Your restored smile will last for years with good oral hygiene and regular checkups.

How long do composite fillings last?

With proper care, composite fillings can last 5 to 10 years. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups will help extend the life of your filling.

Is tooth bonding painful?

No, tooth bonding is a painless procedure. Anesthesia is typically unnecessary unless the bonding is used to fill a cavity.

How do I take care of bonded teeth?

Brush and floss daily to maintain good oral hygiene. Avoid biting on hard objects like ice or pens, which could damage the bonding material.

How long does tooth bonding last?

Tooth bonding can last several years, but the exact lifespan depends on the location of the bonding and your oral habits. Regular check-ups will help maintain the results.

Can tooth bonding fix large gaps?

Bonding can help close small gaps between teeth, but other treatments, like veneers or orthodontics, may be more effective for larger gaps. During your consultation, we’ll discuss the best option for your smile.

What is the cost of fillings and tooth bonding?

The cost varies depending on the extent of the treatment and the materials used. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed estimate and discuss payment options that suit your budget.
