Dental bonding is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a tooth-coloured composite resin to restore and improve your smile. Our dentist selects a shade that matches your natural teeth, lightly prepares the tooth surface, applies the resin and shapes it to the desired form. A special light hardens the material within seconds, and final polishing creates a smooth, natural finish. Because little or no enamel is removed, dental bonding is considered reversible and can be adjusted, repaired or redone over time.
If you are comparing short-term and long-term cosmetic options, you may also want to review our composite veneers option.
Bonding preserves your natural tooth structure. In many cases, no drilling is needed. The enamel is lightly prepared so the resin bonds securely without removing healthy tooth tissue.
Most dental bonding treatments are completed in a single visit. Chips, small gaps, and discoloration can often be corrected in about 30–60 minutes per tooth.
Composite bonding is a cost-effective alternative to veneers. If the material chips or wears over time, it can usually be repaired or replaced without further enamel removal.
The resin is matched to your natural tooth colour so the result blends smoothly with your smile. Most people notice the improvement, not the dental work.

Dental bonding works well for small cosmetic fixes like chips, narrow gaps, or uneven edges when you want results in one visit and lower cost. If you are looking for longer-lasting changes or need bigger shape or color correction, veneers may be the better choice.
Bonding is ideal for minor chips, discoloration, small cavities, and protecting roots exposed by gum recession. It is conservative, budget-friendly, and reversible, making it a helpful option for previewing changes before choosing porcelain veneers.
How long does it last? Most patients enjoy results for about 5–7 years. Clinical studies report roughly 86% five-year survival and a median lifespan of about 5.9 years for similar composite materials. Good daily care, night guards for grinding, and routine cleanings help extend results.
Things to Know Before Choosing Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is strong and reliable, but it does not last as long as porcelain veneers and can stain over time. Patients who grind their teeth or drink coffee or tea often may notice wear or colour changes sooner and could need touch-ups.
Find quick answers to the most common questions our patients ask.
Dental bonding is used to fix small chips, cracked edges, narrow gaps, uneven tooth shape, mild discoloration, and exposed roots caused by gum recession.
