How can dental bonding enhance my smile?

The Many Benefits of Dental Bonding

According to the American Dental Association, almost one in four adults avoid smiling because of the condition of their teeth. While crowns and veneers are effective in improving the appearance of a tooth or an entire smile, dentists can often conceal minor dental imperfections more simply and affordably with cosmetic bonding.

Quick and Simple Treatment

This easy dental procedure requires minimal preparation and can often be performed in a single visit. While some methods of cosmetic dentistry require major alternations to your teeth, dental bonding is simple and reversible.

Affordable Cosmetic Solution

Porcelain veneers and crowns may have the reputation of perfecting a smile, but for the right patients, bonding can achieve similar results for a fraction of the cost. Bonding can be a more affordable option for patients looking to enhance the appearance of their smile with cosmetic alterations.

Low-Risk Commitment

Dental bonding is not permanent like porcelain veneers and other cosmetic procedures. Veneers require alterations to the tooth enamel. However, the dentist may only need to perform simple etching on the tooth surface to prepare for bonding.

A Simple Solution for Minor Imperfections

Dental bonding is a procedure in which the dentist applies a tooth-colored composite resin to the surface of the teeth to repair structural and cosmetic flaws. This versatile dental treatment is an easy way to repair chips, cracks, discoloration, and misshapen teeth.

To keep your bonded teeth healthy and looking great, make sure to brush and floss daily and attend regular dental check-ups. It's important to remember bonding may not last as long as veneers, but with proper dental hygiene and careful treatment of the area, the results can last up to 10 years.

Another great experience! Was extremely nervous just to take impressions,... but they made me feel comfortable and took good care of me. Dr Casey, I can’t thank you enough for being a good/compassionate human. Special thanks to Alex, who knew exactly what to do when my anxiety kicked in and to Maria and Sonia who made sure I was comfortable. Such a great staff ! I’ll never go anywhere else!

Bonding vs. Porcelain Veneers What's the Difference?

Veneers

You may have heard about the wonders of veneers in the world of cosmetic dentistry. Although veneers can provide dazzling results, they cost more than bonding and require a permanent alteration to your teeth. It's important to know that bonding can serve many of the same functions as porcelain. In many cases, they can produce a similarly beautiful end result. However, there are some key differences in the dental materials.

Bonding

Bonding is a more porous substance than porcelain and is susceptible to discoloration from darkly colored foods, drinks, and tobacco products, the same as your natural teeth. A bonded tooth will need touch-ups over time, but it is also long-lasting and a good way to test out whether porcelain veneers may be right for you in the future. Our expert dentists at Montreal Smiles will help guide you in selecting the best service to meet your goals.

What to Expect during the Procedure

Little preparation is needed before dental bonding and treatments will often take under an hour. The process is virtually painless and doesn't require the use of anesthesia.

Color Selection

The dentist will use a guide to hand-select the shade of the resin to match your surrounding natural teeth.

Placement of Resin

The composite resin is then applied to the tooth surface and molded to achieve the optimal size and desired shape.

The Finishing Touches

The dentist will harden the composite resin using ultraviolet light until it is bonded to the tooth surface. After adjusting and polishing to blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth, dental imperfections are effectively disguised.
