A Minimally Invasive Approach to Smile Enhancement

Dental bonding is an effective, minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that offers an immediate transformation of your smile. Utilising a tooth-coloured composite resin, this technique addresses various aesthetic concerns, providing a quick and affordable solution for enhancing dental appearance.

Dental Bonding Explained

Dental bonding involves the application of a malleable resin directly to the tooth's surface, which is then sculpted and hardened using a special light. This procedure is ideal for correcting chips, gaps, stains, or misshapen teeth. Unlike veneers or crowns, bonding requires little to no removal of tooth enamel, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.

Advantages of Dental Bonding

One of the key benefits of dental bonding is its simplicity and cost-effectiveness. The procedure can usually be completed in one office visit, and because it's less invasive, it typically does not require anaesthesia. Additionally, dental bonding does not necessitate custom-made shells, making it a quicker solution than veneers.

The Procedure

The dental bonding process begins with the selection of a resin that matches the colour of your natural teeth. The tooth surface is then conditioned to enhance the adhesion of the resin. The resin is applied, moulded, and smoothed to the desired shape. A high-intensity curing light is used to harden the material, after which it is further trimmed, shaped, and polished to blend seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.

Care and Longevity

To maintain the aesthetics and integrity of bonded teeth, good oral hygiene practices are crucial. Avoiding habits such as nail-biting, chewing on hard objects, and smoking can help extend the life of the bonding. With proper care, dental bonding can last from 3 to 10 years before needing repair or replacement.
