Dental Bonding in Peterborough, ON

Dental Bonding at Lansdowne Place Dental

Dental bonding is one of the most versatile and cost-effective cosmetic dental treatments available. It involves applying a tooth-coloured resin to the affected area of your tooth, which is then shaped, hardened, and polished to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Bonding can be used to fix a variety of dental issues, including:

  • Chipped or cracked teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Discoloured teeth
  • Misshapen or uneven teeth

Our team at Lansdowne Place Dental is committed to providing you with high-quality, customized dental bonding that restores the appearance and function of your teeth. The process is simple, quick, and requires no extensive preparation.

The Dental Bonding Process: What to Expect

Initial Consultation

During your consultation, Dr. Yoon will assess the condition of your teeth and discuss your aesthetic goals. We will determine if dental bonding is the right solution for your needs, and we’ll outline the process and expected outcomes.

Preparing the Tooth

The dental bonding procedure usually requires no anesthesia, as it is minimally invasive. Dr. Yoon will prepare the surface of the tooth by lightly roughening it and applying a conditioning liquid that helps the resin bond to the tooth.

Applying the Resin

Once the tooth is prepared, a tooth-coloured resin is applied to the area needing repair. The resin is carefully shaped to match the natural contours of your tooth, ensuring it blends seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.

Hardening the Bond

After the resin is shaped, a special light is used to harden it. This process only takes a few minutes. Once hardened, the resin becomes a strong, durable material that can withstand normal chewing and biting forces.

Final Touches

Once the bonding is set, Dr. Yoon will polish the resin to match the natural shine of your teeth. The result is a smooth, seamless restoration that looks and feels natural.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does dental bonding last?

Dental bonding can last several years, typically 3 to 10 years, depending on factors such as oral care habits and the location of the bonding. With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, bonding can maintain its appearance and function for an extended period.

Is dental bonding painful?

Dental bonding is a painless procedure that usually does not require anesthesia. However, if you are having a larger area of bonding or if the tooth is decayed, we may use a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort.

How do I care for my bonded teeth?

Caring for bonded teeth is easy! Simply maintain good oral hygiene practices like brushing and flossing daily. Avoid biting hard objects or using your teeth to open packaging, as this can damage the bonding material. If you notice any chips or cracks in your bonding, contact us for repairs.

Can dental bonding be used for large cavities?

Dental bonding is ideal for minor to moderate repairs, such as filling small cavities or fixing cracks and chips. For larger cavities, other dental procedures, such as dental crowns or fillings, may be recommended.

Is dental bonding covered by insurance?

Dental bonding may be partially covered by dental insurance, especially if it’s needed for a functional reason, such as filling a cavity. For purely cosmetic bonding, coverage may vary. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to understand your benefits.
