Dental Bonding
Dental bonding uses tooth-coloured composite resin shaped directly onto the tooth and hardened with a curing light. It is conservative — usually no drilling — and can be completed in a single visit.
Who may need this service
- Small chips or rough edges on a front tooth
- Minor gaps between teeth
- Slightly discoloured spots that whitening cannot remove
