Bonding

Bonding is a quick, conservative way to fix small cosmetic flaws — a chipped corner, a small gap, or a discoloured spot — often in a single, painless visit.

What it is

Dental bonding uses a tooth-coloured resin that's shaped and polished directly onto your tooth, then hardened with a light. It's one of the simplest, most affordable cosmetic treatments.

Because it usually requires little or no removal of tooth structure, bonding is a gentle, reversible-leaning option for minor improvements.

What to expect

  1. 1

    Usually no numbing

    Most bonding needs no anesthetic at all — it's that gentle.

  2. 2

    Shaping and sculpting

    We apply and sculpt the resin to match your tooth, then harden and polish it.

  3. 3

    Done in one visit

    Most bonding is completed in a single appointment, often in under an hour.

Common questions

How long does bonding last?

With good care, bonding can last several years. It can chip or stain over time, but it's easy to touch up or repair when needed.

Is bonding better than veneers?

It depends on your goals. Bonding is quicker, more affordable, and more conservative, and it's ideal for small fixes. We'll help you choose the best option for your smile.
