Cosmetic Dental Bonding in London, ON

What Is Dental Bonding?

Think of bonding as a careful touch up for your teeth. Your dentist applies a soft composite resin, sculpts it by hand, sets it with a curing light and polishes it until it blends right in. Very little enamel is removed, freezing often isn't needed and there is no lab wait, which is why many patients ask about it alongside teeth whitening.

What Can Dental Bonding Fix?

Bonding works best for small cosmetic and repair jobs, like a chipped tooth after a fall or a gap you have never liked. Our dentists commonly use it for:

• Small chips and cracks
• Gaps between front teeth
• Stains that whitening can't lift
• Short, uneven or slightly misshapen teeth
• Small cavities, as a natural looking alternative to traditional dental fillings

Dental Bonding vs. Porcelain Veneers: Which Is Right for You?

Both improve the look of your smile, but they suit different goals. Bonding is done in one appointment and costs less, which makes it ideal for minor fixes. Porcelain veneers are made in a lab, resist staining longer and handle bigger changes in colour or shape.

If a tooth is badly broken or weak, a dental crown may protect it better. Your dentist will walk you through the pros and cons of each option so the choice feels easy.

How Long Does Dental Bonding Last?

With good habits, bonding usually lasts 5 to 10 years before it needs a refresh. Resin can stain and chip a little more easily than natural enamel, so regular checkups and cleanings let us polish and check your bonding at every visit. At home, it helps to:

• Brush twice a day and floss daily
• Go easy on coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco
• Avoid chewing ice, pens or fingernails
• Wear a custom night guard if you grind your teeth

What to Expect at Your Bonding Appointment

Most patients are in and out within an hour, and many new patients are surprised by how relaxed the process feels. Here is what happens:

1. Introduction: Our front desk team finds a time that suits you and answers your first questions about cost and insurance.
2. Assessment: Your dentist reviews your dental and medical history, checks your teeth and gums and takes any dental images needed.
3. Planning and treatment: We explain your options so you can decide with confidence. Bonding itself takes about 30 to 60 minutes per tooth.
