Dental Bonding in Mississauga, Ontario

One of the better options for fixing dental imperfections is dental bonding. Dental bonding can be done in one visit, usually under two hours. It leaves your tooth looking natural and can help improve function in some cases. At Versante Dental, we offer dental bonding to many of our patients.

The Material Used in Dental Bonding

One of the primary materials used in dental bonding is a composite resin. Not only is this a more affordable solution, but composite resin can be moulded and shaped to match your tooth. It can be produced in any colour, so your exact tooth shade can be matched.

Applying a Dental Bond

Dental bonding is a non-invasive procedure that begins with the dentist using a shade guide to match the resin to your tooth. They mix the resin. Then they etch your tooth so the bond will stick. They use a liquid to help the bond stick.

The putty-resin is applied to the tooth, and the dentist moulds it into a shape that matches the tooth. You are put under a curing light to harden the resin onto the tooth. The final steps are for the dentist to trim any excess bonding material, check your bite, and polish the tooth so it matches your other teeth.

Picking a Shade

One aspect of dental bonding you will need to think about is the shade. Typically, you pick a shade that matches your teeth. However, if you are considering teeth whitening, you should choose a shade that matches your whitened teeth. Dental bonds do not whiten. A recommendation is to whiten your teeth first, and then get the dental bond to match.
