Services: Bonded Fillings

Bonding

When teeth are chipped, cracked, uneven, or discoloured, "bonding" can be used to change the colour, shape or the size of your teeth.

Tooth bonding is the term used when a tooth coloured resin is placed on the tooth and permanently hardened and fused to the tooth with a hand-held white light gun. This is an effective procedure for small cavities and broken or chipped surfaces. It is a conservative dental procedure that involves a minimum of alterations to the original tooth enamel. It is painless and can be performed without the use of an anaesthetic.

For some individuals, bonding is a long-lasting and cost-effective procedure for closing small gaps between the teeth or changing the outside surface of the tooth. Bonding can last from 5 - 8 years. However, for those individuals looking for greater aesthetic results or durability porcelain laminate veneers are a natural and long lasting alternative.

Natural Fillings

Natural tooth-coloured fillings are referred to as resin, composite, bonding or white fillings. These fillings are usually stronger and more durable than silver amalgam fillings as they are bonded to your teeth. Aesthetically, they are an attractive alternative to mercury fillings which blacken with age. These natural fillings look like your teeth and are an easy way to improve your smile.
