The Tooth Filling and Bonding Process: What to Expect

At Espire Dental Longmont, we make both the filling and tooth bonding procedures comfortable and straightforward. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:

Consultation and Assessment: We’ll start by evaluating your teeth and discussing your goals to determine if a filling or bonding is the best solution for you.
Tooth Preparation: For fillings, we’ll remove the decayed portion of the tooth and clean the area. For bonding, the tooth surface is slightly roughened to help the resin adhere properly. Both treatments are performed using local anesthesia to ensure your comfort.
Application and Shaping: For both fillings and bonding, the composite resin material is carefully applied in layers, shaped to fit the tooth, and then hardened with a special light. We’ll then fine-tune the shape to ensure a perfect fit and natural appearance.
Polishing: Once the resin is hardened, we’ll polish the tooth to give it a smooth, shiny finish. The result is a strong, beautiful restoration that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.

The entire process is usually completed in one visit, and you’ll leave our office with a fully restored smile.

How long do composite fillings last?

With proper care, composite fillings can last between 7 and 10 years. Regular dental visits will help ensure they stay in good condition.

Is tooth bonding painful?

Tooth bonding is typically painless and often doesn’t require anesthesia unless it’s being used to fill a cavity. The procedure is quick and minimally invasive.

Can bonded teeth be whitened?

Bonded teeth do not respond to traditional whitening treatments. If you're interested in whitening your teeth, it's best to do so before bonding, or we can match the bonding material to your existing tooth color.

How long does tooth bonding last?

Tooth bonding typically lasts between 5 and 10 years, depending on the location of the bonding and your oral hygiene habits.

Are composite fillings safe?

Yes, composite fillings are a safe, mercury-free option for restoring teeth. They are widely used and provide a strong, durable solution for repairing cavities.

Can I eat normally after getting a filling or bonding?

Yes, you can eat normally once the numbness from the procedure has worn off. However, it’s a good idea to avoid very hard or sticky foods to protect your restoration.
