Dental Bonding
If you have a Chipped, Cracked, or Discoloured tooth, Dental Bonding can fix minor damage, close small gaps between teeth, and improve the appearance of your smile.
The dentist will prepare your natural tooth by smoothing it and applying a conditioning liquid, then apply resin carefully shaped and colour- matched to your tooth. The bond is finalised with an ultraviolet light, and your bite is checked to make sure it fits comfortably.
Bonding is typically completed in a single visit, with results visible the same day. At Plenty Smiles we use BPA-free composite resin, chosen to closely match the shade of your natural teeth.
Composite Bonding is an affordable, minimally invasive option if you’re looking to improve the appearance of your smile or repair minor damage to your teeth. Compared to Porcelain Veneers, bonding typically requires less preparation of the natural tooth and can often be adjusted or repaired without needing to be fully replaced.
Some Benefits of Dental Bonding

Dental Bonding FAQ’s

Is there any special care of teeth bonding?
Taking care of your teeth helps extend the life of a bonded tooth. Self-care tips include:
- Brush at least three times a day and flossing regularly
- Avoid hard food and candy
- Avoid coffee, tea, and tobacco for the first two days after the procedure to avoid stains
- Schedule regular dental cleanings.
Whats the difference between teeth bonding and veneers?
There are multiple options to get your teeth repaired. Composite bonding is an affordable option that usually attends minor changes in your tooth, according to your case the dentists would recommend what best attends your teeth keeping in mind durability and maintenance of each option. Veneers are crafted to fit the front of your teeth, like a shield and they can be made of resin or porcelain.

Risks and Considerations
As with any dental treatment, it’s important to understand the limitations of composite bonding before deciding if it’s right for you:
- The resin used in bonding is not as strong as natural tooth enamel, porcelain veneers, or crowns, and can chip or crack over time particularly if you grind your teeth or bite down on hard foods (ice, pens, fingernails).
- Bonding can stain over time from food, drink (coffee, tea, red wine), and tobacco, more so than natural teeth or porcelain.
- Unlike your natural teeth, bonded resin will not respond to teeth whitening treatments, if you’re considering whitening, it’s best to do this before bonding, not after.
- Bonding typically lasts between 3 to 10 years depending on how well it’s cared for, and will eventually need touch-ups or replacement.
- As with most dental procedures involving preparation of the tooth surface, some temporary sensitivity is possible after treatment
