Cosmetic Bonding
Did you know there’s a cosmetic dental procedure that can enhance your smile, repair damage, and restore function, all at an affordable cost? At Dominion Street Dental in Alliston, ON, Dr. Oksana Vozna offers cosmetic bonding as a comfortable and versatile solution for a wide range of dental concerns.
Composite bonding uses a resin material made of durable, non-toxic plastic combined with finely powdered glass. The plastic provides strength and stability, while the glass particles give the restoration a natural, light-reflecting appearance that closely mimics tooth enamel.
The term “bonding” comes from the way this material is securely adhered to the tooth. Because of its strong adhesion, cosmetic bonding is a conservative treatment, it requires very little removal of natural tooth structure. Another benefit is that the resin material expands and contracts at nearly the same rate as your enamel, reducing the risk of cracking over time.
Although dental bonding has been used since the 1970s, today’s advanced techniques and materials are stronger, longer-lasting, and suitable for both front and back teeth. With proper care, composite bonding can provide many years of reliable function and a beautiful, natural-looking smile.
Cosmetic bonding is one of the most versatile treatments in modern dentistry. Dr. Vozna may recommend teeth bonding for:
Because the resin is matched to your natural tooth shade, the results blend seamlessly with your smile. In fact, many patients choose bonding as a cosmetic solution to avoid more invasive treatments. In certain cases, it can even be used instead of a crown.
When Is Cosmetic Bonding Used?
Dr. Vozna may recommend teeth bonding for a variety of purposes, including:
Because the material bonds securely to the tooth, it helps preserve its natural strength. In many cases, cosmetic bonding can even be used instead of a crown.
At Dominion Street Dental, composite bonding is designed to be efficient, comfortable, and personalized to your needs.
During your consultation, Dr. Vozna will evaluate your teeth and discuss your goals. She may also review alternatives such as porcelain veneers, crowns, or orthodontics. If bonding is the right option for you, the treatment can often be performed on the same day.
A typical cosmetic bonding procedure follows these steps:
For most cosmetic treatments, anesthesia is not necessary. However, if decay needs to be removed or your teeth are sensitive, a local anesthetic may be provided for comfort. On average, bonding one tooth takes about an hour, while multiple teeth may take slightly longer but can often be completed in a single visit.
After treatment, there’s no downtime, you can eat and chew normally right away. With proper oral hygiene, dental bonding can last many years. To keep your bonding looking great, brush with a non-abrasive toothpaste, use a soft-bristled toothbrush, and floss daily. Routine dental checkups are also essential for maintaining your results and overall oral health.
Affordability is another reason cosmetic bonding is so popular. Compared to porcelain veneers and crowns, composite bonding is much more economical while still delivering excellent cosmetic and functional results. For cavity repair, the cost of bonding is comparable to amalgam fillings but offers the added benefit of a natural, tooth-colored restoration.
