If you’re looking for a simple, fast and painless way to give your smile some sparkle and shine and a touch of TLC, dental bonding could be the perfect solution. Bonding is a treatment, which is ideally suited to patients who have minor aesthetic flaws, such as worn tooth surfaces and small chips.
About dental bonding
Dental bonding is a dental procedure, which offers a simple and quick remedy for minor cosmetic problems. The changes that are made to individual teeth are small, but the overall impact of treatment is significant and you will really notice a difference after just one hour in the dental chair. This is a perfect choice for people who have chipped or worn teeth or a tooth that is slightly misshapen and it is less expensive and less invasive than porcelain veneers.
The bonding procedure usually takes around an hour and there is no pain involved, so you don’t need to worry about having injections or heading home with a horrible numb feeling in your mouth. With this procedure, your dentist uses dental composite, a material, which is also used for white fillings, to repair damaged teeth, build up worn down surfaces and even close gaps between individual teeth. The composite is like a putty and it comes in lots of different shades, so we can find a close match to your natural tooth colour. While it is still soft, your dentist will mould it to fit the gaps and build up the surfaces; once this is done, a curing light will be directed onto the composite and this makes the composite firm. Once the composite is firm, it should last for several years.
