Treatment
Dental Bonding
Composite shaped directly onto the tooth to fix a chip, close a small gap, or even up an edge, usually in one visit.
The same tooth-colored composite used for fillings, sculpted onto the visible surface of a tooth and polished. It is the least invasive cosmetic option we offer.
The surface is prepared, composite is layered and shaped by hand to match the neighbouring teeth, then cured and polished. Usually no anesthetic and usually no enamel removed.
It fixes small things quickly and reversibly. For a single chipped edge or a narrow gap, it does what a veneer would do at a fraction of the cost and without preparing the tooth.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about dental bonding.
Anyone with a chipped front tooth, a small gap, an uneven edge, or a worn spot near the gumline. It also repairs old bonding that has stained at the margins.
Straightforward and usually painless. Most of the appointment is Dr. Ladhar shaping the material and checking it from different angles with you in the mirror.
Thirty to sixty minutes for one tooth, done in a single visit. Several teeth can often still be finished the same day.
Composite stains over years where porcelain does not, so bonding is typically redone every five to ten years. Coffee and red wine shorten that.
None, and you can eat straight away. Avoid biting your nails or opening packaging with that tooth, since bonded edges chip under that kind of use.
