HIDE TOOTH CRACKS AND CHIPS WITH DENTAL BONDING

If you have a chipped, cracked, unshapely, or discoloured tooth, or require small cosmetic changes, a cosmetic dental procedure like bonding can be a good option for you!

​

Dental bonding is a non-invasive way to hide chips or cracks in your teeth, camouflage your discoloured tooth, or change the shape of your tooth. Cosmetic bonding can close small gaps in between teeth and also increase the size of a tooth. For example, maybe you have a tooth that’s shorter than the rest, and you want them all to be the same length. Dental bonding can also be used to build up older teeth to make them appear younger.

DENTAL BONDING IS A REVERSIBLE, COST-EFFECTIVE, SAFE, FLEXIBLE, FAST, PAINLESS COMMON PROCEDURE

​​

Dental bonding has many advantages:

​

• Reversible: Dental bonding is completely reversible.

 

• Cost-effective: Dental bonding is one of the least expensive cosmetic dental procedures.

 

• Safe: If you have healthy teeth and gums, dental bonding is generally safe and does not pose any oral health risks.

 

• Flexible: Dental bonding can solve various tooth imperfection problems. It is an option for people of all ages, including children, as the resin can be replaced as teeth grow.

 

• Fast: Dental bonding can be done in just one dental appointment. You are able to resume all normal activities as soon as you leave our dental office after dental bonding.

 

• Minimally Invasive: Dental bonding is minimally invasive because it does not require tooth alteration

 

• Painless: Dental bonding is usually not painful because it does not require working with (or close to) your tooth nerves, and anesthesia is generally not required. If you experience sensitivity after dental bonding, it can be eased with over-the-counter pain relievers.

 

• Very Common: Dental bonding is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic dental procedure

 

• No Special Care Required: Bonded teeth don’t require any special care beyond the regular of brushing your teeth twice a days and cleaning between the teeth once a day

THE DENTAL BONDING TREATMENT PROCESS AND WHAT TO EXPECT

​

Tooth bonding is a procedure where we apply a tooth-coloured composite resin matching the colour of your teeth to one or more of your teeth to repair damage. It is the same material that is used to fill tooth cavities, replace old silver fillings or protect teeth exposed to gum recession.

​

We roughen the surface of your tooth and apply a conditioning liquid to ensure that the bonding material sticks to your tooth. We apply several layers of resin to each tooth and harden each layer under ultraviolet light or laser. We then mould, shape and polish the resin material, and make any final adjustments so the finished tooth looks natural, smooth and shiny.

​

DENTAL BONDING AFTERCARE

​

Proper hygiene - brushing your teeth twice a day with soft toothbrush and flossing between teeth at least once a day, is required for dental bonded teeth like your other teeth.

 

You may need touch ups to your dental bonding every 3 to 10 years due to staining or minor chipping.​
