It is very common for a child to break a front tooth. We can beautifully restore the tooth to almost new condition with bonding.
We first examine the tooth to make sure it is healthy and then, take X-rays to assess the health of the tooth's root.
To prepare a tooth for bonding, we clean off any plaque and tartar so the tooth surface is smooth.
The tooth needs to be kept dry during the procedure, so we may isolate it with a rubber dam.
Next, we apply a conditioning gel to help the bonding agent adhere to the tooth and then, place a resin that matches the color of your child's tooth. Following that, we use a safe, high-intensity light to harden the resin.
We may need to place resin several times to achieve the proper thickness. Once all layers have been placed, we sculpt them to the desired shape.
We check the bite to make sure the tooth functions properly. When we are done, we polish the resin to a smooth and beautiful finish. This procedure takes only one visit, and the bonding material should last between three and seven years.
In the weeks following the break, if you see signs of:
A broken front tooth can be traumatic for both parent and child, but bonding can quickly restore that beautiful smile.
Dr. Rehder and the entire staff are friendly and compassionate. They accommodate my needs as a patient and treat me as a personal friend. Professionally, they provide the utmost care and advice, the patient always comes first. I can’t say enough positive comments about this practice.

Dr. Rehder is very professional, yet not too serious as he is doing your teeth. He makes it relaxing and is able to keep your mind away from his work (I have never liked going to the dentist, but Dr. Rehder makes the experience as close to pleasant as a dentist visit can be).

Thank you Dr. Rehder and Christine for the "always exciting" and "never a dull moment" orthodontist appointment. See you in two weeks to do it all over again. Ok maybe-not ALL over again.
