Dental Bonding
A quick cosmetic procedure that uses tooth-coloured resin to repair chips, gaps, or discolouration.
What is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding applies a tooth-coloured composite resin directly to a tooth to repair minor imperfections such as chips, gaps, or discolouration, sculpting and polishing the material to blend naturally with your surrounding teeth. Unlike veneers, bonding typically requires little to no removal of your natural tooth enamel, and the entire procedure can usually be completed in a single visit. Your dentist applies the resin in layers, shaping it to achieve the desired result before hardening it with a special light and polishing it to a natural sheen.
Why is this procedure performed?
- A chipped or minorly fractured tooth
- Small gaps between teeth
- Discolouration on one or a few teeth
- Minor tooth shape irregularities
- A quick, affordable cosmetic improvement for a specific tooth concern
How does this procedure help?
Dental bonding offers a quick, minimally invasive way to correct minor cosmetic concerns, often completed in a single visit with immediate, visible results. Because it preserves more of your natural tooth structure than options like veneers, it's a conservative choice for smaller repairs. With good care, bonding typically lasts several years before touch-ups may be needed.
