What Is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure where a tooth-coloured resin is applied to your teeth to restore their natural appearance. This resin is carefully shaped and hardened to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, creating a natural look that’s durable and long-lasting.

Bonding can be used to repair damaged teeth, fill in gaps, or even change the shape and size of your teeth.

When Should You Consider Dental Bonding?

If you have imperfections that you’d like to address without undergoing extensive dental work, bonding might be the ideal solution for you. Here are some common situations where dental bonding can help:

Chipped or cracked teeth: Bonding can repair minor chips or cracks, restoring the tooth’s appearance and function.
Discoloured or stained teeth: Bonding can mask stains or discolouration that can’t be removed with regular whitening methods.
Gaps between teeth: Bonding can fill spaces between teeth, creating a more even, uniform smile.
Misshapen teeth: Bonding can reshape teeth that are uneven or have an irregular shape.
Tooth sensitivity: If a tooth is worn down or cracked, bonding can act as a protective layer, reducing sensitivity.

How Long Does Dental Bonding Last?

Dental bonding is a durable solution, but it may not last as long as other restorative treatments, such as crowns or veneers. With proper care and maintenance, bonded teeth can last for several years.

Avoiding habits like biting nails, chewing on hard objects, or using your teeth as tools can help extend the life of your bonding.

Aftercare for Dental Bonding

After your dental bonding procedure, maintaining excellent oral hygiene is key—be sure to brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss daily to keep your teeth and gums healthy. This helps prevent plaque buildup around the bonded area, which can affect its durability.

We also recommend scheduling routine checkups with us so we can monitor the condition of your bonded teeth.

The Dental Bonding Process

The bonding procedure is simple and typically takes between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the number of teeth being treated. Here’s a step-by-step overview:

Preparation: Your dentist will select a resin colour that matches your natural teeth. Minimal tooth preparation is required, and in most cases, anesthesia is not necessary.
Application: The resin is applied to the tooth and moulded into the desired shape. Your dentist will make sure that the resin blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
Hardening: Once the resin is in place, a special light is used to harden it, allowing it to bond securely to your tooth.
Finishing touches: After the resin hardens, your dentist will shape and polish the bonded tooth for a smooth, natural finish.
