Dental Bonding Dryden

Composite bonding is a dental procedure that can improve the appearance of teeth affected by minor imperfections such as small chips, gaps, or discolouration. It uses a tooth-coloured composite resin that is carefully matched to the shade and texture of your natural teeth.

The Procedure

During the procedure, the dentist applies the composite resin to the prepared tooth surface. The material is then shaped and hardened with a curing light. After curing, the bonded area is contoured and polished to blend naturally with the surrounding teeth. The process is similar to that used for tooth-coloured fillings and can often be completed in a single visit.

When Bonding May Be Recommended

Composite bonding may be appropriate for:

• Small chips or cracks in teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Teeth that appear worn or slightly misshapen
• Minor discolourations that do not respond to whitening treatments

For teeth with more extensive decay, fractures, or structural damage, other restorative treatments—such as crowns, veneers, or fillings—may be recommended to provide greater strength and durability.

Additional Considerations

Bonding is generally considered a conservative and cost-effective way to enhance a tooth’s appearance. However, bonded restorations may not be as strong or long-lasting as other restorative options and may require repair or replacement over time. Proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups help maintain the results.
