The dentist will first isolate the teeth involved in the operation and etch them in order to prepare them for bonding. The surface of the teeth will have tiny cracks after using the etching precondition liquid, allowing for a better connection between the tooth and the bonding agent.

After that, the dentist will use a bonding glue to fix the composite in place. Following the application of multiple coats of tooth-colored composite, the composite and bonding resin will be molded and hardened using a carefully calibrated light. After the composite has fully hardened, the bonded regions are polished, buffed, and smoothed to look just like the neighboring teeth.
