Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure that involves applying a tooth-colored composite resin on your teeth to improve your smile. Here at Chapel Gate Dental, we use this technique to improve the appearance of chipped, cracked, broken and stained teeth. We also use this procedure to fill spaces between teeth and to change their shape and colour. Typically, bonding is used as a cosmetic alternative to amalgam fillings and to protect the root of the tooth when gums recede.

Dental Bonding Procedures:

One of the best things about dental bonding is that it is usually a quick and painless procedure, requiring just one appointment with very little to no preparation of the teeth. Unless there is decay or an old restoration present, we never use anesthesia for dental bonding. During your visit,

• A conditioning gel is applied to roughen the tooth
• Composite resin is applied with an ultraviolet light
• The resin is shaped and polished to its final appearance
