What To Expect
During Your Cosmetic Bonding Procedure
Comprehensive Consultation & Assessment
Our experienced dentists in Kirkland will evaluate your oral health, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if cosmetic bonding is the right solution for you. We use advanced diagnostic tools like digital X-rays and intraoral cameras to assess the condition of your teeth.
Preparation & Application of Resin
To prepare for bonding, a small amount of enamel may be removed from the tooth’s surface to allow the resin to adhere properly. Your tooth is then conditioned to enhance bonding strength. The composite resin is applied in layers, molded, and shaped to match the natural contours of your tooth. Each layer is hardened using a special curing light, ensuring a durable and precise fit.
Finishing Touches & Polishing
Once the resin is hardened, the bonded area is carefully trimmed and shaped to achieve a natural appearance. We then polish the tooth to smooth out any rough edges and ensure that the bonded resin blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth. This final step restores both the function and aesthetics of your tooth, leaving you with a beautifully enhanced smile.
