The Tooth Bonding Procedure

Dr. Raymond Ribitch can complete your tooth bonding procedure in just one visit to his Mount Pleasant, MI office. Before treatment, Dr. Ribitch will go over your oral health history, budget, and goals to ensure that tooth bonding is right for you. He may also undergo other treatments prior to bonding your teeth if you have severely decayed or damaged teeth. He offers periodontal therapy, tooth extractions, and restorative dental options to patients.

Dr. Ribitch will prepare the tooth receiving treatment by removing a small amount of tooth enamel. This is done to ensure that the bonding material has a smooth surface to adhere to. Then the biocomposite material is shaped and sculpted onto the tooth. A special curing light is then used for the final cosmetic restoration. We color-match the biocomposite to natural teeth or even brighter for a natural whitened smile.

How long does tooth bonding last?

With the right oral care, tooth bonding can last patients for up to ten years. Be sure to maintain a healthy oral hygiene routine and visit our office regularly to receive professional dental cleanings.

Does dental bonding ruin your teeth?

No, we use a safe bonding material to actually cover and protect teeth from further damage. After many years, the bonding material may fade, but this does not damage the tooth enamel.

The dental bonding procedure can take about 30 to 60 minutes per tooth.

What can’t you eat with dental bonding?

Avoid foods and drinks that stain your teeth following your tooth bonding procedure, including coffee, tea, and sodas.

Can bonded teeth be whitened?

Teeth that are covered with dental bonding material cannot be whitened using our professional teeth whitening services. However, patients who receive bonding treatment can achieve a whiter smile or reverse their bonding if they would like to undergo professional teeth whitening treatment.
