Dental bonding is a minimally invasive cosmetic dental procedure that uses a tooth-coloured composite material to improve the shape, appearance, or proportion of a tooth.
It can be useful for patients with minor chips, small gaps, irregular tooth edges, or slight shape abnormalities. The composite material is carefully matched to the surrounding teeth and shaped to create a natural-looking result.
One of the advantages of dental bonding is that it can often be completed with relatively little alteration to the natural tooth structure. The treatment is customised according to the individual tooth and the patient's overall smile.
Dental bonding can be an excellent option when a patient wants a subtle cosmetic improvement without extensive dental treatment. Your dentist will determine whether bonding or another treatment such as veneers would be more appropriate for your particular concern.
