Cosmetic Dental Bonding: Smile Restoration

A Natural and cost effective way for cosmetic treatment

Cosmetic Bonding

Dental bonding is a versatile cosmetic procedure where a dentist applies a tooth-colored resin to your teeth and hardens it using a special light. This process effectively bonds the resin to the tooth, enhancing its appearance.

Dental bonding is commonly used to:
Repair chipped or cracked teeth
Close gaps between teeth
Cover up tooth discolorations

Advantages & Limitations

The Dental Bonding Process

Consultation: Your cosmetic dentist will evaluate your needs.

Application: A tooth-colored resin is applied to your tooth.

Curing: A special light is used to harden the resin, bonding it securely to the tooth. It sounds simple, right?

Our skilled dentists at Country Dental Clinic utilize these restorative materials to dramatically improve the smiles of patients, even those with the most challenging dental issues. If you’re looking to enhance your smile, dental bonding may be the perfect solution for you!

Advantages of Dental Bonding:

Cost-Effective: Dental bonding is generally less expensive than crowns or veneers, making it a budget-friendly option.

Quick and Convenient: Most bonding procedures can be completed in just one visit, saving time for both you and your dentist. In contrast, crowns and veneers typically require multiple appointments and time for customization.

Ideal Uses for Dental Bonding:
Dentists often recommend bonding for minor corrections, such as repairing chipped teeth, closing gaps, or covering discoloration. Its efficiency and effectiveness make it a go-to choice for small cosmetic enhancements.

Limitations of Dental Bonding:

While bonding has many benefits, it does have some limitations. Dental crowns tend to resist stains better over the long term and offer greater durability. Bonded teeth are also more susceptible to chipping or breaking compared to crowns or veneers. At Country Dental Clinic, we’ll provide you with guidance on foods to avoid chewing to protect your bonded teeth from damage.

Bonding vs Dental Crowns/Veneers

Dental crowns and dental veneers are alternative procedures used to cosmetically boost your smile. Bonding has the advantage of being less expensive and far less complicated.

Most dentists like using dental bonding especially for small cosmetic changes or corrections of defects. The time it saves both dentists and patients is also a big plus. Veneers and crowns require multiple visits and time to craft the pieces. Bonding procedures can be completed in usually one visit.

There are a few limitations to dental bonding though. Dental crowns have proven to resists stains better than dental bonding over the long run. Also, bonded teeth are much more susceptible to chipping or breaking than crowns or veneers. You’ll be reminded here at Country Dental about items you should refrain from chewing to prevent future dental problems. The Canadian Dental Association offers more information on their Bonding & Veneers page.
