Do you have a small cosmetic issue with your teeth you wish you could fix? Have you always thought that cosmetic dentistry was out of your reach?
Minor aesthetic flaws can sometimes be corrected using a non-invasive procedure called dental bonding. Dental bonding can be beneficial for patients who want to avoid dramatic procedures but have some small concerns about the appearance of their teeth, such as oddly shaped teeth, gaps between the teeth or minor chips.
At Casuarina Dental, we use composite material to help correct aesthetic issues with your teeth. Book a consultation at our clinic in Casuarina to see if this is a suitable treatment option for you.
Cosmetic dental bonding is pretty simple, but if your teeth are yellow or stained, you may consider whitening your teeth prior to dental bonding treatments since the composite material cannot be whitened. A custom composite shade will be matched to your natural teeth so that the bonding will blend well and be practically undetectable.
First, we will etch (roughen) the surface of your tooth. A conditioning agent will be applied to prepare your tooth to bond to the composite material. Next, composite material will be applied in several layers and hardened with a special curing light. Once the final layer is applied, the composite will be polished and smoothed, so it blends well with your enamel.
One of the main benefits of cosmetic bonding is that minimal prep work on your tooth is required. That means that your tooth will be left intact, and we will be adding the composite material as needed. Because bonding is non-invasive, you should be quite comfortable with your procedure.
Cosmetic bonding is a versatile method to improve the aesthetics of your teeth. We can help you determine whether dental bonding will be right for your unique needs.

Dental bonding is a type of dental procedure that involves using a tooth-coloured resin material to improve the appearance of your smile. This procedure can be used to fix a number of different aesthetic issues, such as chipped teeth, gaps between teeth, and stained or discoloured teeth. Bonding can also be used to change the shape of your teeth or make them look longer.
Dental bonding is a popular cosmetic dental procedure that can improve the appearance of your teeth. Bonding can last for many years, but it is not permanent. You may need to have the bonding redone or replaced over time.
Dental bonding is usually used for cosmetic purposes, while fillings are used to restore the function and structure of a tooth.
