Dental bonding is a conservative cosmetic treatment that can improve the appearance of teeth affected by small chips, minor gaps, uneven edges, or certain types of discolouration. At Gentle Smile Dental in Coquitlam, we provide dental bonding as an option for patients seeking a non-invasive way to enhance their smile. This treatment uses a tooth-coloured composite resin that is shaped, placed, and polished directly on the tooth surface.

Bonding can be an appropriate choice for individuals looking to address specific cosmetic concerns without committing to more extensive restorative procedures.

What Dental Bonding Can Address

Dental bonding may be considered for patients with one or more of the following concerns:

  • Small chips or minor fractures on a tooth
  • Slight gaps between teeth
  • Uneven or worn edges
  • Painted over a stained tooth to make it match the colour of your other teeth
  • Build up teeth

The resin material is selected to blend with the natural tooth colour, helping the restored area appear harmonious with the rest of the smile.

What to Expect During a Dental Bonding Appointment

  1. Consultation and Assessment
    Our dentist will examine the tooth or teeth you wish to improve and confirm whether bonding is an appropriate option. Occasionally, alternative treatments may be recommended when concerns are more extensive.
  1. Shade Matching
    A composite resin shade is selected to complement your natural teeth. This helps the final result blend seamlessly with your smile.
  1. Surface Preparation
    The tooth surface is gently roughened to promote bonding. This step may feel similar to lightly polishing the tooth.
  1. Application and Shaping
    The resin is applied in layers and carefully sculpted to achieve the desired shape, contour, and symmetry.
  1. Curing
    A special curing light is used to harden the resin. This step takes only a few seconds per layer.
  1. Final Polishing
    Once the resin is fully cured, the tooth is polished to achieve a smooth finish and natural lustre.
