Dental bonding is a magical treatment, which can literally transform your smile in less than an hour. Also known as cosmetic bonding, this is a perfect treatment for people who have chipped, worn or misshapen teeth or small gaps between their teeth.

What is bonding?

It is a treatment used for improving smile aesthetics by making small adjustments and minor repairs to the teeth. Most commonly, this procedure is used to repair chipped teeth, but it can also used to be build up worn teeth and close gaps between the teeth.

The treatment is relatively straight-forward and in some cases, no anaesthetic will be required. Your dentist will use their skill, creativity and experience to carefully mould and shape bonding material, building up very thin layers to create a perfect result. Once the material is in place, it will be set hard using a light beam and then the tooth will be given a final once-over to make sure that it looks flawless.

The procedure usually only takes around 30-45 minutes and it can make a huge difference to the overall look of your smile.

Why would I consider bonding?

If you are drawn to imperfections in your smile when you look in the mirror or you immediately notice your chipped or worn teeth when you look at photographs of yourself, this may be an ideal solution.

The process is really simple but it really can make a massive impact. Bonding can banish chips, close gaps and create a really healthy looking, attractive smile. It is also one of the most affordable treatments on offer.
