Tooth bonding is a quick and easy process for a smile makeover. With dental bonding, no use of anesthesia is involved, unless the bonding material is used to fill a decayed tooth. However, if you have anxieties about pain, your trusted Charlotte cosmetic dentists at Ballantyne Center for Dentistry are also sedation dentists. A sedation dentist is a trained professional who can keep you relaxed and comfortable during the entire procedure.

1. Your cosmetic dentist will choose a composite resin color that closely matches the color of your natural teeth using a shade card or guide.
2. Once a color is chosen, your dentist will roughen the surface of the tooth and apply a gel-like substance to make the bonding material stick to it.
3. Once the tooth is ready for bonding, the dentist will apply a paste-like composite resin to the tooth.
4. The resin is shaped and smoothed until the desired shape is achieved.
5. Finally, the composite resin is subjected to ultraviolet light or laser in order to harden.
6. The dentist will now trim, shape, and polish the material until it matches the sheen of the rest of the tooth surface.
7. Dental bonding takes about 30 to 60 minutes per tooth to complete. The entire procedure is done while you lie comfortably and wait for the chance to show your perfect smile.
