Composite bonding (commonly referred to as bonding) can work wonders for a smile that has developed aesthetic damage.
Using materials that match the shade, translucency, and texture of your natural teeth, this procedure can close gaps between teeth, eliminate spots and discolorations, and enhance your self-confidence through an improved smile appearance.
Our dentists will match the shade of your existing teeth and then apply tooth-coloured composite resin to the tooth, similar to a dental filling procedure. The resin is hardened (cured) with a specialized light and then precisely shaped, contoured, and polished to achieve an authentically natural appearance.
Composite bonding is excellent for correcting small defects such as spots, chips, or gaps between teeth. For smile alterations involving an entire tooth or multiple teeth, a more comprehensive procedure, such as implants, may be recommended.
Bonding is one of the least expensive cosmetic dental procedures and can typically be completed in a single visit.
Fillings are a restorative procedure used to replace decayed tooth structure. They are also used to repair fractured, broken, or severely worn teeth.
Modern dentistry allows us to combine beauty with strength when filling teeth. Fillings are made from materials that closely mimic the look and feel of natural teeth, creating restorations that are nearly indistinguishable from the original tooth in both strength and appearance.
The procedure begins with cavity preparation—removing any decay and shaping the cavity. Next, composite resin filling material is applied and hardened (cured) with a specialized light. The final step involves polishing the filling to match the tooth's natural contour smoothly.
In some cases, if the cavity is too large for a filling, the dentist may recommend an inlay or onlay (partial crown). These restorations are designed to replace more tooth structure than a typical filling. This process involves taking an impression and having the inlay or onlay fabricated in a dental laboratory. The final placement occurs during a second visit at Dena Dental.
Fillings do not last forever, so regular check-ups are essential. Over time, fillings can crack or wear down due to chewing forces. During routine exams, our dentists monitor the integrity of your fillings and will recommend replacement if any issues are detected.
