Bonding
at Woodford House Dental Practice in Woodford Green, Essex

How Does Bonding Work?

After inspecting the tooth in question, your dentist will select a color for the composite resin (the material used in bonding) that most closely matches your tooth. Then they will roughen the outer layer of your tooth, removing a minimal amount of tooth enamel, and apply a strong adhesive that will help the resin stick. Your dentist will then shape the resin to fill in any cracks or gaps or change the contours of your tooth. Afterwards, a dental laser is used to “bond” the material to your tooth.

How Long Does Bonding Take?

Dental bonding can be performed in a single visit, unless you are having several teeth bonded. The procedure usually takes between an hour and two. If you're having your teeth lengthened, it might take a few days for you to get accustomed to them.

How Long Does Bonding Last?
This is more of a short term solution as composite bonding is prone to staining and in certain situations fails due to poor oral hygiene and a heavy bite (teeth have excessive force).

How Much Does Dental Bonding Cost?
Dental Bonding typically costs between £100 and £250 per tooth, and the cost can vary depending on the extent of work required.
