Exposure and bonding are two interconnected dental procedures frequently employed to assist patients with impacted teeth or those that haven’t completely erupted. The process of exposure consists of surgically revealing a tooth that is trapped beneath the gumline, while bonding enhances the tooth's functionality and appearance after it has been uncovered. Advantages of Exposure & Bonding: • Addresses problems associated with impacted teeth • Reestablishes the aesthetic and functional aspects of a tooth • Averts possible alignment complications • Quick recovery period
At Danica Dental House, we utilize advanced dental methods to provide you with minimal discomfort while achieving excellent results in your exposure and bonding procedures. Our caring technique guarantees that even if your tooth is impacted or difficult to access, we can restore its visibility and functionality.
For impacted teeth, we can uncover them and apply bonding or other techniques to align them properly.
Recovery varies; however, most patients feel little discomfort and can return to their usual activities in a few days.
Exposure and bonding are frequently suggested for patients, typically teens or young adults, whose teeth are hindered from coming in naturally due to obstruction from other teeth, dense bone, or an abundance of soft tissue. At Danica Dental House in Wilmington, Rafaela Dejanovic DDS carefully assesses each situation to identify the best treatment plan, ensuring that the procedure is customized according to the patient’s unique dental structure and orthodontic needs.
"Welcoming, professional and respectful of patients levels of anxiety/ and distress regarding dental procedures. The staff takes excellent care in the comfort of patients. Questions are answered respectfully. Warmth and concern are expressed approximately. This is a practice that builds relationships between professional staff and their patients- who are not just “passing through” but are part of the practice- which is not so large that one feels like a number- not an individual."
