Extremely happy and impressed with the quality of the dental work at this practice. Stewart and Rachel made me feel so relaxed and at ease during my appointments that sometimes I even drifted off!

The dental bonding procedure

Your consultation

Your dentist will schedule a consultation to determine if dental bonding is the most appropriate treatment for you.

Your appointment

During the appointment your affected tooth will be etched slightly to create a surface the resin can easily attach to. The tooth coloured resin will be applied and shaped to develop a natural result. The resin is set in place with an ultraviolet light and once set, the resin is trimmed and shaped further until the desired result is achieved.

The procedure usually takes 30 minutes to an hour to complete. If you’re having more than one tooth done, you may need to schedule more time or more appointments.

Frequently asked questions

How strong is the resin?

Arrow Down (grey) thin | Bow Lane Dental in London

Whilst the resin is a strong material, it isn’t as strong as your natural teeth, or other restorative procedures such as fillings, crowns or veneers.

How long will the resin last?

Arrow Down (grey) thin | Bow Lane Dental in London

This depends on how the resin is being used and your ongoing care. A conservative use of the resin should last many years. An exposed resin on the edge of a tooth repeatedly exposed to hard foods is at higher risk of being chipped.

Can I clean my teeth as normal?

Arrow Down (grey) thin | Bow Lane Dental in London

In most cases you can continue to brush and floss as normal. If your dentist has any particular advice for you they will let you know.

Are there any changes I should make to my diet?

Arrow Down (grey) thin | Bow Lane Dental in London

In the first 48 hours you should avoid substances that can have a staining effect on your teeth such as tea, coffee, red wine and cigarette smoke. Long term you should be careful of biting or chewing hard foods on the affected tooth to prevent chipping the resin.
