How dental bonding works
We place a tooth-coloured resin (plastic material) directly on teeth to transform them. It’s one of the more affordable cosmetic options offered by dentists. Is it a good choice for you? Well, the answer heavily depends on two factors: the size of the tooth and the part of the tooth requiring treatment.
With dental bonding, we can…
- Fix cracked or chipped teeth
- Enhance the appearance of discoloured teeth
- Repair decayed teeth
- Alter the shape of teeth
- Replace outdated, stained fillings in your front teeth with tooth-coloured bonded fillings.
Caring for your smile after getting dental bonding
It’s important to continue to provide your smile adequate hygiene care after undergoing this procedure. We encourage all patients to brush twice a day and floss once per day. One thing to know is that bonded teeth are prone to staining, so you should be careful when it comes to your consumption of teeth-staining substances. Examples include coffee, tea, wine, soda, and tobacco products. Definitely stay away from consuming any of these items in the first two days after undergoing bonding.
