Frequntly Asked Question's About Dental Bonding

What is dental bonding and what is it used for?

Dental bonding is a cosmetic and restorative dental procedure in which a tooth-coloured material is applied to the surface of a tooth and shaped to improve its appearance or repair minor damage. It may be used for small chips, gaps, changes in tooth shape, or certain surface imperfections.

Can dental bonding fix chipped or cracked teeth?

Dental bonding can repair some minor chips and surface damage by adding tooth-coloured material to the affected area. Whether bonding is suitable depends on the size and location of the damage and the overall condition of the tooth.

Is dental bonding suitable for closing small gaps between teeth?

How long does dental bonding take?

Dental bonding is often completed in a single dental visit, although the time required depends on the number of teeth being treated and the complexity of the work. Your dentist will shape and polish the bonded material to achieve the desired result.

How long can dental bonding ?
