The Dental Bonding Process In Our Melbourne Clinic

Dental bonding is a procedure that can be done in as little as 30 minutes in one office visit. Often requiring no anaesthesia, teeth can be prepared, and bonding applied to quickly improve or repair a tooth. Once the initial dental examination is completed and we know that bonding is the right treatment for your situation, this is what you can expect from the bonding procedure:

1. 3D Molding

During your first appointment, a mould or 3D scan of the affected teeth will be taken.

3. Polishing and Shaping

The newly bonded tooth (or teeth) will be polished, shaped and ready to go

2. Placement

The next step will be to numb the tooth, if necessary, and place bonding onto the tooth.

4. Finishing Up

Some people experience temperature sensitivity after bonding, which can be easily soothed with a particular toothpaste

Understanding Dental Bonding

Dental bonding uses a tooth-coloured composite resin that’s expertly sculpted onto your teeth to repair chips, close small gaps, reshape worn edges and mask discolouration. After a thorough assessment, your dentist will select the perfect shade of resin, gently etch the tooth surface to ensure strong adhesion, then layer and mould the material for optimal contour. Once hardened with a special curing light, we finish with precise shaping and polishing so the bonded areas blend seamlessly with your natural enamel. The entire process typically takes 30–60 minutes per tooth, requires no anaesthetic in most cases, and provides durable results that, with good home care, last five to seven years or more.

After care for Dental Bonding

While bonded teeth blend seamlessly with your natural dentition, they need a little extra care to keep their lustre and strength. The resin used in bonding is more prone to staining than enamel, so limiting coffee, tea, red wine and colourful foods will help maintain their brilliance. Gentle daily habits—brushing twice with a soft-bristled brush, flossing regularly and following any mouthwash recommendations—are essential for long-lasting results. And remember, avoid using your teeth as tools by steering clear of chewing ice, pens or opening bottles to prevent any chips or damage to your beautiful new smile.
