Dental bonding involves the adhesion to your teeth of a specialised resin material that becomes as strong as your own teeth and virtually as hard as your own enamel. It is an inexpensive way of correcting minor cosmetic anomalies.
Bonding can be used to close unsightly gaps and to restore chipped and worn teeth. The bonding procedure generally takes only one visit.
Bonding resin materials are chosen to match the colour of your teeth, so that it appears natural. If you desire a whiter smile overall, we recommend that you bleach your teeth prior to the bonding procedure, either by using a custom made At-Home Bleach Kit, and/or having an In-Office Zoom! ® Whitening appointment.
Bonding, unlike porcelain veneers, is not a permanent solution. Bonding, unlike porcelain, does pick up stains, and depending on your dietary and oral habits, may last around 5 to 10 years before requiring a new treatment.
