About Dental Bonding

Dental bonding material is a specially formulated polymer that recreates the color, texture, and function of natural tooth material. Applied as a soft, putty-like substance, dental bonding allows us to sculpt the tooth precisely, no matter what the purpose of the repair. We can also build the dental bonding material up in layers when necessary, allowing us to repair even large areas of damage. 

Once we have sculpted and shaped your tooth, your dental bond will be cured using a specially calibrated light, which quickly and permanently hardens the bond. We can then make any minor adjustments necessary using traditional dental tools, and finally, we will polish your completed work, to create a smooth, natural-looking finish.

FAQs

Q: What is dental bonding, and what issues can it fix?

A: Dental bonding uses a specially formulated dental polymer to repair teeth that are decayed, chipped, broken, unevenly shaped or sized, stained or discoloured. It's also used to replace old metal fillings with a more natural-looking material.

Q: What is the bonding material made of?

A: We use a polymer for our dental bonding treatment. It’s soft and putty-like when applied, and recreates the colour, texture, and function of natural tooth material. It can be sculpted and built up in layers for larger areas of damage, then hardened with a curing light.

Q: How does the dental bonding process work?

A: Your dentist sculpts and shapes the polymer directly onto your tooth, then cures it with a specialized light to harden it in place. After that, they make minor adjustments with dental tools and polish the bonding for a smooth, natural finish. The whole process typically takes just one visit.

Q: How long does dental bonding last?

A: Bonding is a durable option for smaller repairs to your teeth, though it's generally not as long-lasting as porcelain veneers or crowns since the material can chip or stain over time with normal wear.

Q: How is dental bonding different from porcelain veneers?

A: Dental bonding is applied directly to your tooth in one visit and is a quicker, more affordable option for smaller repairs. Porcelain veneers, on the other hand, are custom-made shells that take a couple of weeks to make but offer a more durable, longer-lasting result. Your dentist can help you decide which fits your needs.

Q: Can dental bonding replace old metal fillings?

A: Yes. Bonding is one of the ways we replace old metal fillings with a tooth-colored material that blends in with the rest of your smile. If you're specifically looking to swap out fillings, our replacing fillings page covers that process in more detail.

100% recommend coming here. Excellent communication from everyone and extremely accommodating, even with a toddler and baby in tow. Very good and patient with children getting their teeth checked too! Was unlike any other dentist experience ever before, and felt truly listened to and had all their attention during the appointment.

As always, we had another great visit with Dr. Champney and his team. They have been taking care of my family for 8 years, and we'll never switch. Everyone is friendly, personable and are great with my kids, since they were little and now into their teens. Dr. Champney takes the time to do things right and makes sure we are comfortable at our visits. Would absolutely recommend.

Kristie

We have been with Innisfail Family Dental from the time we moved here in 2010. The staff has always been friendly and helpful and Dr. Champney has always been thorough and honest with us. All of my children have had their wisdom teeth removed at the clinic and we have had zero complications. The office follows the dental fee guide and if we’ve ever had a concern with service or fees they were quick to come to a resolution. Keep up the great work!

Cheryl G.

Such a refreshing experience with Innisfail Family Dental. Everyone was so pleasant to deal with and Dr Champney took the time to sit with me and thoroughly go through all my X rays and questions I had. I felt so comfortable and heard. Thank you. My entire family will be going here.
