Dental bonding is quickly becoming one of the most popular cosmetic treatments available for small smile enhancements. In this blog, we’ll cover how dental bonding can improve your smile, but also answer that frequent question, what is dental bonding?

You may have seen dental bonding referred to as: composite bonding, resin bonding or teeth bonding. All of these terms mean the same thing. Dental bonding is the use of a filling-like material (resin) to correct, amend or lengthen a tooth. Dental bonding is popular after Invisalign or other cosmetic treatments to improve the appearance of individual teeth. One of the main uses of composite bonding is to repair chips or reshape the tooth. Dental bonding has grown in popularity due to it being a quick and painless procedure, but also non-invasive to the natural tooth. Dental bonding is a potentially good treatment option for those who want small adjustments but don’t want the commitment and expense of porcelain veneers. Composite bonding cost differs from practice to practice, so make sure you enquire with your dentist.

Now, let’s get onto how composite bonding can improve your smile:

1. Repairing chips in the tooth

If you have chips in your tooth, dental edge bonding may be the treatment for you, it can be customized to colour match your tooth and restore your tooth to the natural shape it once was.

2. Lengthening teeth

Many people grind their teeth, which results in the teeth becoming shorter as they are worn down. This is not ideal for the structure of your teeth, but also many people dislike it from an aesthetic point of view also. Dental bonding can be sculpted to the edge of your tooth to restore the length. This gives people a much broader smile and can improve how healthy their teeth look.

3. Altering the tooth shape

Dental bonding can also cover the front of the tooth as well as the edges, much like a veneer in resin. This can allow us to alter the shape of a tooth, and even close gaps in the tooth. This can make a huge difference to those that have uneven tooth shapes or small gaps that cannot be closed we Invisalign.

4. Color

Colour is the last change we can make with dental bonding that covers the entire tooth. Teeth whitening can make a huge difference to a smile, even brightening the appearance of the skin.

We hope this helped to outline some of the key benefits of dental bonding. We truly believe dental bonding can be a great option for people who want a smile enhancement but don’t want intrusive treatment. Remember to ask your dentist for their dental bonding cost as it does vary between dentists. Take a look below for a dental bonding before and after photo!
