Frequently Asked Questions
Cosmetic bonding is the application of a tooth-coloured composite resin (like a white filling) to repair a decayed, chipped, fractured or discoloured tooth. Unlike porcelain veneers, which are made in a laboratory, composite bonding can be used to transform the appearance of one or more front teeth in just one short appointment.
Cosmetic bonding does not normally require any preparation and is completed in around one hour, without the need for anaesthetic.
We start by selecting the colour of the composite resin to be used. The tooth surface is lightly etched or roughened which helps the composite resin to bond to the tooth. The resin is moulded to the tooth and shaped. An ultraviolet light is shone onto the tooth to help it harden. We then sculpt, shape and polish the tooth so that it matches the colour and sheen of the rest of your teeth to provide a pleasing result.
It usually takes about an hour to complete the procedure.
Cosmetic bonding is an ideal option if you are looking for instant results – if you are a bride to be who wants to quickly transform her smile for her special day. It can treat:
- Gaps between teeth
- Chipped or broken teeth
- Crooked or uneven teeth
- Discoloured teeth
We also use cosmetic bonding as recession fillings to help prevent temperature sensitivity when the tooth’s root has been exposed due to receding gums.
Bonding is among the easiest and least expensive of cosmetic dental procedures.
Bonding usually lasts several years but will need to be repaired or replaced. How long it actually lasts depends on you and how well you look after your cosmetic bonding and your other teeth. Regular dental check ups and visits with our hygienist will help.
We understand that price is an important consideration. Like any dental treatment, the cost of your cosmetic bonding is dependant on the number of teeth that need treatment, the complexity of your treatment, how long your treatment will take, the quality of the materials used and the artistic ability of your cosmetic dentist.
When you come to see us for your first consultation, we will determine the most appropriate treatment for you and provide you with a treatment plan and cost.
Your cosmetic bonding is guaranteed for one year.
