Dental Bonding: Restore Your Smile with Confidence
 |
What is Dental Bonding?
Dental Bonding is a cosmetic procedure that uses tooth-coloured resin to repair or reshape teeth. It's a go-to solution for quick, effective and natural-looking results.
Common uses include:
- Fixing chipped or cracked teeth
- Closing small gaps between teeth
- Reshaping or lengthening edges
- Masking tooth discoloration
Applied in just one visit, the resin is sculpted, cured with light, and polished to blend in seamlessly.
Who Can Benefit?
From teens with sports-related injuries to adults with aging enamel, dental bonding suits a wide range of dental needs. It can also support recovery when dental appearance or function is affected by medical treatments, such as those for oral cancer. Bonding offers a minimally invasive way to restore the look and integrity of teeth, often without the need for more complex procedures.
Benefits of Dental Bonding
- Minimally Invasive: no drilling or enamel removal in most cases
- Quick and Convenient: often completed in under an hour per tooth
- Cost-effective: more affordable than veneers or crowns
- Natural-looking Results: resin blends with your existing teeth
- Reversible: bonding can be adjusted or removed if needed
What's the Process Like?
Quick and comfortable, most bonding procedures take 30-60 minutes per tooth.
Here's what to expect:
- Prep: The tooth is cleaned and gently roughened
- Application: Resin is layered and shaped
- Curing: A special light hardens the material
- Polish: The final finish mimics the shine of natural enamel
How Long Does It Last?
With proper care, dental bonding can last 5-10 years or longer.
To keep it in great shape:
- Avoid biting hard objects
- Maintain good oral hygiene
- Schedule regular checkups
Dental bonding is a fantastic way to revitalize your smile, whether you're fixing a chip or more. Book your appointment today and discover how dental bonding can significantly improve your oral health.
