Dental bonding offers a conservative way to improve the appearance of chipped, gapped, discoloured, or irregularly shaped teeth.
Small Adjustments, Big Effect
Cosmetic bonding commonly requires little to no anesthetic or drilling, which allows the procedure to be performed on multiple teeth during a single visit. This option is often a convenient and inexpensive way to enhance the appearance of your smile.
The Dental Bonding Procedure
The length of the appointment can vary depending on the amount of work required, but most cosmetic bonding appointments take between one and two hours. During the appointment, a composite resin will be applied to the tooth to cover small gaps or cracks. The resin is then hardened using a process called light-activated polymerization before your dentist polishes it to a natural-looking shine.
Maintenance After Dental Bonding
No additional effort is required to maintain your new dental bonds looking their best. Just continue to care for them like you would natural teeth by brushing twice daily and flossing once.
