Exposure and bonding are two related dental treatments often used to help patients with impacted teeth or teeth that have not fully erupted. Exposure involves surgically uncovering a tooth that is stuck below the gumline, while bonding can restore the tooth's appearance and function once it has been exposed. Benefits of Exposure & Bonding: • Resolves issues with impacted teeth • Restores both form and function of a tooth • Prevents potential alignment issues • Minimal recovery time
At Rose Crest Dental, we use the latest in dental techniques to ensure minimal discomfort and the best possible outcome for your exposure and bonding treatment. Our gentle approach ensures that even if your tooth is impacted or hard to reach, we can make it visible and functional again.
If your tooth is impacted, we can expose it and use bonding or other methods to bring it into alignment.
Recovery time varies, but most patients experience minimal discomfort and are able to resume normal activities within a few days.
Exposure and bonding are often recommended for patients, usually adolescents or young adults, whose teeth have failed to emerge naturally due to being blocked by other teeth, dense bone, or excessive soft tissue. Matthew Hunsaker, DMD evaluate each case at our Chandler facility to determine the precise approach needed, ensuring the procedure is tailored to the individual’s dental anatomy and orthodontic requirements.
