Dental Bonding
A chipped or cracked tooth can be unsightly and uncomfortable, but dental bonding can help restore the integrity of your teeth. This cosmetic dental procedure is relatively fast and easy, and for some patients don’t even require anesthetics.

Why You Need Dental Bonding
Dental bonding helps to repair chipped or discoloured teeth. The process offers several advantages, including:
Replaces Enamel
The enamel on your teeth is incredibly strong, and when you get dental bonding, the dentist fills the broken or chipped enamel with a strong composite resin that matches and blends in with the rest of the tooth.
​
Creates a Natural Look
The resin composite material comes in a range of different shades so your dentist can easily match and blend it in with the colour of your natural teeth when they apply the dental bonding material.
​
Protects the Health of Your Teeth
Dental bonding restores the natural surface of your teeth, helping you chew properly and reducing the risk of further damage or discolouring.
What to Expect With Dental Bonding
Your dentist will go over other potential options such as tooth whitening, fillings, or veneers. This is what to expect if you determine that dental bonding is the best solution:
Choosing the Resin Colour
The dentist looks through the colour options to ensure they get the best match for your other teeth. Dental bonding should create a seamless look that isn’t noticeable.
Preparing to Bond
The dentist will smooth the tooth surface to help the bond stick, then apply a bonding agent.
Adding the Dental Bond
The dentist finally adds the composite resin to the tooth and moulds and blends it into the ideal shape. The team then uses a light to cure the resin and reshapes it as needed.
