Have you or your dentist noticed small breaks, chips, or cracks in your teeth? If left untreated, these issues can get worse over time.

A cosmetic dentistry treatment called dental bonding can quickly repair dental issues like these, without crowns, veneers, or surgery.

Learn how Drs. Wong and Lee of Vitacare Dental Centre in Coquitlam, BC, can repair tooth flaws quickly and affordably with bonding.

What Does Dental Bonding Involve?

Day of Procedure

First, you will discuss your cosmetic dental and oral health goals with either Dr. Wong or Lee. Alternatively, your dentist may suggest bonding to correct minor teeth imperfections discovered during a comprehensive exam at our Coquitlam, BC, practice.

Next, a composite resin will be customized to match the shade of your affected tooth and existing teeth around it.

Dr. Wong or Dr. Lee will then use their cosmetic skill to apply the composite resin to your tooth, filling cracks or even reshaping it, if needed.

Finally, a special curing light will be used to harden the resin so it bonds securely with your tooth. Once the resin is completely bonded, your dentist may polish the area to smooth the tooth's surface. That's it. You are ready to smile with confidence.

Six Benefits of Dental Bonding

Painless

The bonding process itself is 100 percent painless. However, if decay needs to be removed from a tooth first, a numbing anesthetic will be needed to keep you pain-free before the bonding resin is applied.

Fast

Depending on your individual needs, bonding can be completed in an hour or less during one visit.

Affordable

This procedure can cost hundreds of dollars less than other cosmetic dentistry procedures like crowns or veneers. It may even be covered by insurance.

Long-Lasting

With regular exams and proper brushing and flossing, the composite resin on your teeth could last up to a decade.

Natural-Looking

When used to fill a cavity, tooth-colored bonding material looks much more lifelike than old-fashioned metallic fillings.

Great for All Ages

Dental bonding works great on both children's teeth and adult's teeth.
