What is dental bonding?
Dental bonding is a versatile procedure designed to repair and improve the appearance of your teeth. This cosmetic treatment is perfect for covering up chipped teeth, filling small cavities or closing gaps between teeth.
Our skilled team carefully prepares the tooth surface by lightly etching it and applying a bonding liquid. Once the liquid sets, we mold a tooth-colored resin to the desired shape. The resin is then hardened, trimmed, smoothed and polished to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, giving you a flawless finish.

How long does dental bonding last?
Dental bonding can last several years with proper care and maintenance. Here are some tips to help prolong the life of your bonded teeth:
- Regular dental check-ups: Visiting your dentist for routine examinations and cleanings ensures any issues are detected early.
- Good oral hygiene practices: Brushing twice a day and flossing daily keep your teeth and bonding in good condition.
- Avoiding harmful habits: Refrain from nail-biting, chewing on hard objects and using your teeth as tools to open packages.
- Be cautious with staining foods and drinks: Limit consumption of coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco, which can stain the bonding material.
With these practices, you can help maintain the appearance and function of your bonded teeth for many years.
