Bonding
Bonding is a small repair that can make your smile feel whole again.
It could be a tiny chip on your front tooth. A gap you’ve noticed in photos. A rough edge you can’t help but feel with your tongue. It’s not painful—but it’s distracting.
Bonding is one of the simplest ways to fix it. With a bit of careful shaping and polish, your dentist can make that spot blend in again—without major work, and often in a single visit.
When something small feels bigger than it looks.
Bonding uses a tooth-coloured material to rebuild areas that are chipped, uneven, or discoloured. It’s sculpted by hand, layer by layer, until it blends into the surrounding tooth. No impressions. No lab. Just steady, careful work done chairside.
People often choose bonding for:
• Minor chips or fractures
• Edges that look worn or uneven
• Small spaces between teeth
• Spots or stains that whitening won’t lift
It’s not for every case—but when it’s the right fit, the results can be immediate and satisfying.
Most bonding appointments take less than an hour.
There’s usually no freezing needed—just a quiet, focused session with your dentist. You’ll be asked about what’s bothering you, and what you’re hoping to see instead.
Here’s how it typically works:
• The tooth is gently prepared and lightly roughened
• A bonding material is applied and carefully shaped
• A light hardens the surface so it stays in place
• The tooth is polished until it feels smooth and natural
In many cases, you’ll walk out with the change already done—no follow-up needed.
Your Bonding questions, answered.
If something small has been bothering you, bonding might be all it takes.
You don’t have to commit to major dental work to fix a chip or smooth out a spot that’s been bugging you. Bonding is quick, low-impact, and often makes a noticeable difference.
