Cosmetic bonding can be used to restore function and aesthetics to a tooth.
Cosmetic bonding requires no local anaesthetic and is entirely non-invasive. Your dentist simply applies the resin, shapes it, and cures it with light. Cosmetic bonding is a great way to brighten the smile of patients with sensitive teeth. Good news for patients who aren’t fond of needles – there is no need for anaesthesia unless there is evidence of a cavity.
You can brush and floss your bonded tooth as you would any other tooth.
Cosmetic bonding can be completed in one appointment and is a more cost-effective alternative to veneers and crowns.
The resin is not as strong as your natural teeth. Chewing your nails, or frequently applying excessive pressure can weaken the bonding material
