Is the cosmetic bonding process painful?

The process for applying most dental bonds is completely painless since the dentist is usually only working on the surface of the tooth. You may only experience pain if your bond is used to repair a cavity. You may also feel pressure as your dentist prepares your tooth to receive the bonding material. Take a few long, deep breaths to help yourself relax. Tell your dentist if any discomfort does not pass quickly.
