Tooth bonding is a cosmetic procedure designed to repair or improve the appearance of teeth.
When it comes to dental care, we know that many people procrastinate to get the services they need for a wide variety of reasons. That is why our team at Dentistry by the Lake has worked hard to create a welcoming atmosphere for our clients in and around the Toronto, Ontario region.
We have been serving this area for over 20 years, offering compassionate, respectful, and patient-centred care. Additionally, you will find that we accept the CDCP (Canadian Dental Care Plan) and that in most instances we bill the insurance companies directly, streamlining the process and reducing stress and frustration.
One of the many services we offer is tooth bonding. Tooth bonding is a cosmetic dental technique that uses a tooth-coloured composite resin to repair or improve the appearance of a person’s teeth. It is typically used to repair chipped, fractured, or discoloured teeth, correct tiny gaps, or alter the shape or length of teeth to create a more uniform smile.
During the procedure, the tooth’s surface is roughened, and a conditioning solvent is used to help the bonding material adhere. The plastic is then delicately sculpted, contoured, and hardened using a special curing light before being polished to mimic the natural gloss of the surrounding teeth.
One of the primary benefits of tooth bonding is that it is a rapid, minimally intrusive, and less expensive alternative to veneers or crowns. Most bonding procedures can be done in one visit without the need for anaesthetic, unless decay or damage is being addressed. While bonding materials are not as stain-resistant or durable as porcelain, they can endure for many years with proper care.
