About This Treatment

Dental Bonding & Contouring at Woodbend Dental

Dental bonding uses tooth-coloured composite resin applied directly to the tooth to repair chips, cracks, or discolouration — or to close small gaps and reshape irregular teeth. It's one of the most cost-effective cosmetic treatments available.

Tooth contouring (also called enameloplasty) is the complementary process of reshaping teeth by removing small amounts of enamel. Together, bonding and contouring can produce impressive cosmetic improvements in a single appointment.

Unlike veneers, bonding requires little to no tooth preparation and is fully reversible.

The Process

What to expect, step by step

01

Shade Selection

We select a composite shade that precisely matches the surrounding teeth.

02

Surface Preparation

The tooth surface is lightly etched to help the composite bond securely.

03

Composite Application

Composite resin is applied, sculpted, and shaped by hand to achieve the desired result.

04

Polishing

The bonded area is finished and polished to match the sheen of natural teeth.

FAQs

Common questions about dental bonding & contouring

How long does bonding last?
+
Bonding typically lasts 4–8 years before it may need touching up or replacing, depending on the location and how you care for it.
Is bonding the same as a veneer?
+
Bonding uses composite resin applied directly in the office. Veneers are custom porcelain restorations made in a lab. Bonding is less expensive but less durable; veneers offer better longevity and aesthetics for significant changes.
Does bonding stain?
+
Composite resin is more susceptible to staining than porcelain. Avoiding coffee, red wine, and smoking helps maintain the appearance.
