I am very happy with this dentist. I moved to this dentist after a bad experience at my old one, which always made me feel comfortable and at ease. I moved out of the area but will still use this dentist and can’t recommend it enough.
Bonding
Bright Dental Surgery, St Johns, Woking
Dental bonding involves applying a tooth-colored resin to repair chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth, creating a natural, seamless finish.
Bonding is a straightforward dental procedure where a tooth-coloured resin is applied to a tooth to fix minor issues like chips, cracks, discolouration, or gaps. It’s a quick and effective way to improve the appearance of your teeth without needing extensive work.
The material used is a composite resin, which can be matched to the colour of your natural teeth, so the repair blends in seamlessly. The process is simple: your dentist will choose the resin that best matches your tooth colour. Then, they’ll apply the resin to your tooth, moulding and shaping it to fit perfectly. After that, they use a special light to harden the material, bonding it to your tooth. Once it’s hardened, the dentist will trim and polish it to look like your natural tooth.
Bonding is great for fixing minor issues, like filling in chips, covering up stubborn stains, closing small gaps, or even making a tooth look longer. It’s also sometimes used to cover exposed roots if your gums have receded.
One of the best things about bonding is how quick and painless it is—usually, you won’t even need anaesthesia, which can be done in just one visit. Plus, it’s one of the more affordable options for cosmetic dental work.
However, bonded teeth aren’t quite as strong as natural teeth so that they can chip or stain over time. But with good care and regular dental visits, bonding can keep your smile looking great for years.
Bonding is ideal if you have minor cosmetic concerns and want a simple, effective solution without much fuss.
