Cosmetic Bonding in NE Calgary
A small chip or gap can make you self-conscious about your smile. Cosmetic bonding is one of the simplest ways to fix it. At Smiles at Saddleridge Dental in NE Calgary, we use tooth-coloured composite resin to repair and reshape your teeth. We are always accepting new patients.
What Is Cosmetic Bonding?
Cosmetic bonding uses a tooth-coloured composite resin that is applied to the tooth and shaped by your dentist. The resin bonds to the tooth, hardens and is polished to blend in with your smile.
What Can Bonding Fix?
- Chips and cracks
- Gaps between teeth
- Teeth that are uneven or an unusual shape
What to Expect
Bonding is usually completed in a single visit.
- Your dentist examines your teeth and talks with you about the look you want.
- We choose a resin shade that matches your natural teeth.
- The resin is applied, shaped and hardened.
- Your dentist trims and polishes the bonding and checks your bite.
Is Bonding Right for You?
Bonding works well for small changes. For larger changes or for a whole new look, your dentist may suggest porcelain veneers. If your teeth are stained, teeth whitening may help. Learn more about Porcelain Veneers and Teeth Whitening.
Caring for Bonded Teeth
Brush twice a day, floss daily and keep up with your regular exams and cleanings. Avoid biting on hard objects such as pens or ice, since bonding can chip. Your dentist will give you advice that fits your teeth.
Insurance and Payment
We offer direct billing to insurance. Coverage varies depending on the reason for treatment, so please confirm your coverage with our office before your visit.
