Dental Bonding – Edmonton, AB

What Is Dental Bonding?

Dental bonding is a quick, easy way to conceal minor imperfections in a person’s smile. This treatment involves the application of a tooth-colored composite resin to restore damaged or missing tooth enamel. This resin can be sculpted by your dentist into the perfect shape and size before being hardened with a special curing light. In just one visit, you can walk out with those finishing touches on your smile.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Bonding?

If you’re searching for a simple, cost-effective treatment to fix minor flaws in your smile, you may be a good candidate for dental bonding. Bonding is able to address the following imperfections:

• Chipped Teeth
• Cracked Teeth
• Gaps Between Teeth
• Small or Irregularly Shaped Teeth
• Discolored Teeth

The Dental Bonding Process

Cosmetic bonding can be completed in just one appointment. First, we will make sure that you feel comfortable. Then, your dentist will prepare the area by etching the surface of the tooth. A conditioning liquid will also be lightly coated on the tooth to help ensure that the bonding material sticks. Once the tooth is prepared, we will apply the tooth-colored resin and mold it to the desired shape, therefore hiding any chips, cracks, or small gaps. The bonding resin is then hardened using a special ultraviolet light. Lastly, we will polish and put the finishing touches on the tooth to make it look perfect!
