Dental Bonding

Are you interested in improving the appearance of your smile?

Do you have chips or cracks or are you unhappy with the proportions of your teeth? Dental bonding may be a solution for you. Dental Bonding can improve the appearance of teeth making them more uniform. It also has some functional uses, protecting teeth from decay and replacing outdated amalgam fillings. Some patients opt for dental bonding instead of veneers as it is a cheaper option and easily repaired in case of an emergency.

What is dental bonding?

Dental bonding is a quick in-office procedure that doesn’t require any sort of anaesthesia unless a special case arises. A resin material is adhered to the affected teeth to mask any discrepancies and strengthen underlying teeth.

Dental bonding works by roughening and conditioning the affected teeth so that the resin used for dental bonding adheres. The resin that is used is carefully matched to the colour of your natural teeth so that it blends in and isn’t noticeable at all. Once the resin colour is matched it is then applied to the tooth, moulded, and left to harden to match the strength and feel of your natural tooth. Minor touch-ups may be required after hardening to ensure the most natural finish. When the resin is in its proper shape and is hardened, it is polished to match the shine of natural teeth. Once completed this treatment shouldn’t be noticeable so no one has to know you’ve had dental work done if you don’t want them to.
