Tooth-coloured filling material, shaped by hand to repair chips and close small gaps in one visit.
What it is
Bonding uses a tooth-coloured resin that we build up in layers on the tooth, shape by hand and harden with a blue light. It is a good fit for chips, small gaps and worn edges.
What to expect
Most teeth take about an hour and often need no anaesthetic, because little or none of the tooth is removed. You leave the same day with the finished result.
How long it lasts
Bonding is not as hard-wearing as porcelain. Expect to polish or touch it up every few years, and avoid biting your nails or opening packets with your teeth.
