Dental Bonding in Downtown Edmonton

Tooth bonding is the application of a tooth-coloured resin material using adhesives and a high intensity curing light. The procedure gets its name from the fact that materials are bonded to the tooth. Bonding is typically used for cosmetic purposes to improve the appearance of your teeth. Often times bonding is used as a cosmetic alternative to amalgam fillings, or to protect a portion of the tooth’s root that has been exposed when gums recede.

Bonding can be used for various treatments and cases:

• Decayed teeth
• Cracked or chipped teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Discoloration

The Tooth Bonding Procedure:

Dental bonding procedures can usually be completed within one appointment at our Dental Centre in downtown Edmonton. Your procedure appointment will be preceded by an examination/consultation appointment during which you and your dentist will work out a treatment plan.

• Your dentist will select a composite resin that matched your natural teeth’s shade.
• Your existing tooth is roughened so the resin can adhere well.
• The composite resin is cautiously applied to your tooth which is then shaped and smoothed to achieve your aesthetic goals.

If you have any questions about the dental bonding procedure, call Magathan Dental Centre or stop by our location in Edmonton so you can speak to our trusted staff about the dental services we provide.
