Esthetic filling and bonding procedures are generally quick and effective methods used to correct imperfections or enhance the aesthetic appearance of teeth. The duration of the procedure can vary depending on the amount of filling or bonding applied, the complexity of the procedure, and the treatment plan. However, typically both procedures can be completed in a single visit.

Duration of Esthetic Filling Procedure:

• The esthetic filling procedure usually takes between 30 minutes to 1 hour. This duration may vary depending on the number of fillings to be applied, the size of the filling, and the preparation status of the teeth.

Duration of Bonding Procedure:

• The bonding procedure typically takes between 30 minutes to 1 hour. The dentist applies a special composite resin to your tooth, shapes it, and uses a special light or laser to harden it. This duration may vary depending on the amount of bonding to be applied and the condition of the teeth.

Both procedures are generally quick and minimally invasive, so patients can typically complete their procedures in a single visit. However, in more complex cases or when procedures need to be performed on multiple teeth, the duration of the procedure may be longer.

Prior to esthetic filling and bonding procedures, it is important to discuss the duration and details of the procedure with your dentist to clarify your expectations.
