Dental Bonding in Sydney

Bonding can be used to restore teeth that are discoloured, chipped, cracked, or misarranged. This is an easy to implement, medium-term solution that is a substitute for veneers. Bonding usually lasts for three to five years before needing repair.

In the treatment, the dentist prepares the tooth for bonding by lightly etching the surface and coating the tooth with a bonding liquid. Once the liquid has set, then the dentist applies a plastic resin and sculpts it into the desired shape. When the resin has set, it is trimmed and polished to a natural appearance.

Bonding can significantly improve the appearance of a tooth and can usually be done in a single office visit. Because the plastic is not as strong as tooth enamel, it can be chipped, or broken, and is more likely to pick up stains than natural teeth.

In most cases veneers would be chosen as a more appropriate solution as it provides a longer term result.
