DENTAL BONDING
Restore your smile
What is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves the application of a tooth-coloured resin material to repair, reshape, or enhance your teeth’s appearance. This treatment is ideal for fixing issues like chipped, cracked, or discoloured teeth, as well as gaps between teeth.
What are the Benefits of Bonding?
1. Aesthetic Improvement: Bonding can dramatically improve the appearance of your teeth, whether it’s a minor flaw or a significant issue.
2. Quick and Convenient: One of the biggest advantages of dental bonding is that it can typically be completed in just one visit.
3. Minimally Invasive: Bonding requires little to no removal of the tooth’s structure. This means the process is less invasive and preserves your natural teeth.
4. Cost-Effective: Dental bonding is often more affordable than other cosmetic dental treatments, such as veneers or crowns, making it an accessible option for many patients.
5. Durability: With proper care, dental bonding can last several years, providing you with a long-lasting solution to your dental concerns.
The Dental Bonding Procedure
The dental bonding procedure typically involves the following steps:
1. Consultation: During your initial consultation, our dentist will assess your dental needs and discuss your goals. We will determine if dental bonding is the right treatment for you.
2. Preparation: The tooth requiring bonding will be prepared by slightly roughening the surface to ensure a strong bond with the resin.
3. Application: A shade-matched resin material will be applied to the tooth. Our dentist will then shape and mould the resin to achieve the desired look.
4. Curing: A special light is used to harden the resin, ensuring it bonds securely to your tooth.
5. Finishing Touches: Our dentist will polish the bonded area after the resin has hardened to ensure a smooth and natural finish.
Aftercare and Maintenance
Caring for your bonding is straightforward. Regular brushing and flossing, along with routine dental check-ups, will help maintain the integrity of your bonding. Also avoid biting on hard objects and to limit the consumption of staining substances like coffee and red wine to prolong the life of your bonding.
