Is Tooth Bonding Right for Me?




Tooth bonding or cosmetic dental bonding refers to the use of special composite resins in order to rebuild part of a tooth’s missing structure. 

The dental resins used for tooth bonding are quite durable. In addition, these composite dental resins are colour matched to your teeth so that they are virtually undetectable. Therefore It requires great expertise and an artistic eye to achieve optimal aesthetics.

Tooth bonding is best suited to deal with minor chips and cracks on teeth that are cosmetic in nature and do not compromise the overall structure of a tooth. Cases of minor tooth discolouration or tooth stains can also be fixed through tooth bonding. For tooth damage along the biting surfaces of the teeth, composite bonding resins can be used to form inlays and onlays.

The tooth bonding process is relatively simple and involves no pain or discomfort. A dental resin is selected that most closely resembles the natural colour of the tooth to be treated. The tooth is then prepared for the tooth bonding material, which means making the surface a bit rough in order for the resin to adhere more effectively. 


The composite resin is then applied and then smoothed down and shaped to seamlessly blend with the existing tooth. A special light is then used to set the composite bonding material.

The advantage of bonding is that it is a relatively inexpensive and conservative way to restore a tooth. No impressions are required and there is no waiting time.

Cosmetic bonding can resolve cavities, chips, cracks, fractures, gaps and spaces between teeth, and tooth discolouration. However, if you have teeth that are extensively damaged or your dentist considers other dental issues may affect the success and longevity of cosmetic bonding treatment, other options may be presented to you, such as crowns or veneers.

The best way to find out if tooth bonding is right for you is to visit our Preston cosmetic dental practice for a consultation with Dr. Kaviani. During your consultation, she will determined if tooth bonding or another cosmetic dentistry option such as porcelain veneers or dental crowns will be best to address your needs.
