Dental bonding is a procedure used for many years and is an excellent way to repair cracked, chipped, and stained teeth.
In addition, the bonding is also used to replace silver amalgam fillings.
Dental bonding adds more structure to your teeth by filling chips and gaps while the contouring reshapes the tooth surface and softens the edges of jagged teeth.
Among all cosmetic and restorative dental procedures, bonding is considered the most conservative treatment in the group.
This is because the procedure involves minimal alteration to the original tooth enamel and can be reversed if no enamel is removed.
The amazing results of bonding can be seen right after the treatment.
Your dentist Glen Waverley determines the colour shade of your teeth to choose a composite resin that will blend to it naturally.
Your tooth is prepared for bonding by roughening the tooth surface that needs treatment and applying a liquid conditioner.
The resin is applied on the tooth and secured in place with the help of ultraviolet light.
Your dentist finishes the treatment by shaping and polishing the composite resin for a good fit.
Your dentist is the best person to can determine if you’re a good candidate for dental bonding. Generally, bonding is ideal for patients who have minor aesthetic flaws affecting their front teeth. You must be a non-smoker and your teeth and gums must also be in good health.
Dental bonding can correct minor cosmetic imperfections such as stained, gapped, cracked and misaligned teeth. Fixing these flaws makes your smile look straight and uniform.
If you have an extensive cosmetic problem, bonding may not be the right option for you. Your dentist may recommend other alternatives such as porcelain veneers.
Dental bonding is a much less expensive option and an excellent alternative to veneers, and this is one of its many advantages.
Moreover, dental bonding is a versatile procedure as it can be carried out on its own or in conjunction with other treatments like teeth whitening, crowns and bridges. Other benefits of dental bonding include:
The material closely resembles your tooth enamel
Yields natural-looking results when performed by a skilled cosmetic dentist
The composite resin is virtually identical to your natural enamel
Boost your self-confidence with a healthier-looking smile
Can treat cavities and other forms of dental damage
A quick treatment, as bonding can be completed in one to two hours
Durable and can be expected to last up to 10 years

Dr. Lydia is our best choice after compared with other dentists, especially on children's dental care. She is very patient and very professional on children's noncooperation. She explained the treatment clearly and given us good advice. She is always gentle when checked teeth. She used a lot of strategies to help my son for relaxing and be comfortable while filling a tooth. My son was very resistant to see dentist because he had a bad experience in another clinics before, but Dr. Lydia was very patient and given my son a lot encouragement.
