If you have never had bonding, the unknown can feel bigger than the procedure. Here is what a typical appointment at Cambie Dental actually looks like from start to finish.
Before We Begin
We start by talking through what bothers you and choosing a resin shade that matches your natural teeth. Good colour matching in natural light is what makes the finished result invisible.
The tooth is cleaned and lightly conditioned so the resin bonds well. This preparation is gentle and usually needs no anaesthetic.
Shaping The Resin
We apply the tooth‑colored resin in thin layers, sculpting each one to rebuild the shape you want. A curing light hardens the material within seconds, so it is solid before we move on.
This artistic step is where experience shows. We shape edges and contours to catch light like natural enamel rather than looking flat or bulky.
Finishing And Aftercare
Once the shape is right, we trim, smooth, and polish the bonding until it blends seamlessly. We also check your bite to make sure the new surface feels natural when you chew.
There is no downtime, so you can eat and drink normally right away. We will share simple tips to keep the bonding looking fresh, and you are on your way the same day.
