Fix Chips and Gaps in a Single, Easy Visit
Cosmetic bonding is one of the simplest and most conservative ways to improve your smile. We use a tooth-coloured composite resin to repair chipped or cracked teeth, close small gaps, and smooth out little imperfections, often in just one appointment. It is gentle, natural-looking, and helps preserve your natural tooth structure, making it easy on your teeth.
What bonding can fix
Bonding is a simple, conservative way to improve small cosmetic imperfections, helping you refresh your smile without major treatment.
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Small gaps between teeth
- Minor stains that don't respond to whitening
- Teeth that look a little short or uneven
- Exposed tooth roots caused by gum recession
How it works
We gently prepare the surface of your tooth, apply a tooth-coloured composite resin, and shape it by hand. A special curing light hardens the material, and we polish it to a natural-looking shine. The composite bonds directly to your tooth, so there is usually little or no healthy tooth structure that needs to be removed.
Because it is quick and comfortable, bonding is an excellent option when you want a noticeable improvement without the time or complexity of more involved cosmetic treatments.
Is bonding right for you?
Bonding is an excellent option for small cosmetic improvements. For bigger changes such as significant reshaping, very dark stains, or a full smile transformation, other treatments may provide a more durable, long-term result. At your consultation, we will look at your goals together, examine your teeth, and suggest the option that best fits your smile, your goals, and your long-term oral health.
Why patients choose Power Smile
Often done in one visit
Most bonding is finished in a single appointment, so you can enjoy your refreshed smile sooner—with no lab and fewer interruptions to your busy schedule.
Gentle and conservative
Bonding usually needs little or no removal of healthy tooth structure, making it one of the most conservative ways to improve your smile while preserving as much of your natural tooth as possible.
Natural-looking results
We carefully shade and shape the composite to match your surrounding teeth, so the repair blends naturally with your smile.
A conservative choice
For many small cosmetic touch-ups, bonding is a more conservative option than veneers or other cosmetic treatments, preserving more of your natural tooth.
Frequently asked questions
How much does cosmetic bonding cost?+
The cost of bonding depends on the number of teeth being treated, the size of each repair, and the complexity of the treatment. We'll examine your teeth, explain what we recommend, and provide a clear written estimate before any treatment begins, so you can decide whether to proceed. As a cosmetic treatment, bonding is usually not covered by dental insurance, although coverage may vary depending on your plan.
Does bonding hurt?+
Bonding is usually comfortable and often doesn't require numbing because little or no healthy tooth structure is removed. It is one of the gentlest and most conservative cosmetic treatments we offer.
How long does bonding last?+
With good care, bonding can last for several years before it may need repair or a touch-up. Avoiding habits such as biting your nails or chewing ice, along with regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups, helps it last longer.
Can bonding stain over time?+
Composite resin can pick up stains from coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco over time. Good oral hygiene, regular cleanings, and limiting stain-causing foods and drinks help keep it looking its best. If it does become stained or worn, bonding can often be polished, repaired, or refreshed.
