Exposure & Bonding
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
