Dental bonding is a versatile and minimally invasive dental procedure that can be suitable for both restorative and cosmetic purposes, depending on the circumstances. This type of treatment may be used to repair minimal chips or decay in teeth as well as to improve their shape, size, symmetry, and/or colour.
At Fresh Dental in Winnipeg, our skilled team of dentists often recommends dental bonding as a treatment option for patients seeking to address minor issues with their smile as efficiently as possible. Requiring less time and tooth preparation than veneers, it can often be completed in just a single appointment.

Dental bonding is a straightforward dental procedure that uses tooth-coloured resin to cover or rebuild slightly damaged or imperfect teeth. Putty-like composite resin is sculpted onto one or more existing teeth to repair small chips, cracks, gaps, or areas of decay, and then hardened to match the surrounding tooth enamel.
Dental bonding is usually completed in a single visit and can improve the appearance, health, and function of teeth for many years. If slight imperfections are causing you discomfort or making you feel self-conscious about your smile, dental bonding may be the treatment option you’ve been seeking!

The dental bonding procedure is quick and typically doesn’t require any anaesthesia. To begin with, your Fresh dentist will remove a small amount of tooth enamel to create a rough surface for bonding and apply a conditioning liquid to ensure the resin will stay firmly attached. Next, the bonding material will be carefully sculpted onto the damaged tooth to achieve a functional and aesthetically pleasing outcome. Lastly, the bonding resin will be hardened with ultraviolet light, precisely adjusted, and polished to match the surrounding enamel.
You’ll leave our clinic immediately after your dental bonding appointment with a newly enhanced smile that looks and feels completely natural.
