01.

Process

Consultation: During your visit, we’ll discuss your smile goals and examine your teeth to determine whether teeth bonding is the right cosmetic solution for you.

Preparation: The tooth surface is gently roughened, and a conditioning liquid is applied to ensure the composite resin bonds effectively.

Application: Tooth-colored resin is carefully placed and artistically shaped to correct chips, cracks, discoloration or minor alignment issues.

Curing: A special light is used to harden the resin, forming a durable, secure bond with the natural tooth.

Final Adjustments: Once hardened, the bonded area is smoothed and polished to seamlessly blend with your natural teeth for a flawless, natural-looking finish.

Next Steps

Follow-up Visit: A follow-up appointment may be recommended to ensure that your teeth bonding is secure and your gums are healthy.

Proper Maintenance: To keep your bonded teeth in great shape, avoid chewing hard objects like pens or ice, limit staining foods and drinks such as coffee and tea, and maintain good oral hygiene with daily brushing, flossing and regular dental checkups.

Ongoing Support: Our team is always here to support you with continued care, answer any questions and help you enjoy long-lasting results from your teeth bonding treatment.

FAQ

  • How long does dental bonding last?

    Dental bonding typically lasts 5 to 10 years, depending on your oral habits, the location of the bonding and how well you care for your teeth.

  • What are the disadvantages to dental bonding?

    Dental bonding can stain more easily than crowns or veneers, may not be as durable for heavy bite areas and typically needs to be replaced or touched up every few years.

  • Can dental bonding straighten teeth?

    Dental bonding can improve the appearance of slightly crooked or uneven teeth, but it won’t actually move teeth like orthodontic treatments; it’s best for minor cosmetic adjustments.
