Exposure and bonding are interconnected dental procedures frequently utilized for patients with impacted teeth or those that haven’t completely erupted. The exposure process entails surgically revealing a tooth that is trapped beneath the gumline, whereas bonding works to enhance the tooth’s appearance and functionality after it has been uncovered. Advantages of Exposure & Bonding: • Addresses problems caused by impacted teeth • Restores the shape and function of the tooth • Averts possible alignment complications • Short recovery period
At Danica Dental House, we utilize the most advanced dental techniques to provide optimal results and minimal discomfort during your exposure and bonding treatment. Our compassionate method guarantees that even the most challenging or impacted teeth can be restored to visibility and functionality.
If you have an impacted tooth, we can reveal it and use bonding or other techniques to align it.
Recovery times differ, but typically patients feel little discomfort and can return to regular activities in just a few days.
For patients, particularly teens and young adults, exposure and bonding procedures are frequently advised when teeth do not fully erupt due to obstruction from neighboring teeth, dense bone, or too much soft tissue. At our facility in Wilmington, Rafaela Dejanovic DDS thoroughly assesses every situation to identify the most suitable method, ensuring that the procedure is customized to fit the person’s unique dental structure and orthodontic needs.
"I cannot recommend Dr. Rafaela enough.. I had extreme anxiety about going to the dentist and had such bad experiences that I avoided going for 7 years. I have really sensitive teeth which makes cleanings usually very painful for me but she was so gentle while also being very thorough. When I went back to her for fillings it was the same relaxing and enjoyable experience. I am so happy that I found her she really changed the way I feel about dental visits and now I will bring my kids for their cleanings here as well."
