    Restore Your Smile Instantly: Cosmetic Dental Bonding for Small Imperfections

    Minor cracks and chips in your teeth are no trouble with our modern dental bonding techniques. This relatively inexpensive, non-invasive treatment option can quickly restore damaged teeth to normal.

    What is Dental Bonding?

    Dental bonding, also known as tooth bonding, is the process of using a tooth-coloured composite material (like resin) to fill in cracks and chips on worn or decayed teeth.

    This treatment is as simple as it comes, making it great for almost any patient - even those with high dental anxiety. It’s relatively common and inexpensive, and can help to fill small cavities, fix minor damage or close small gaps, no major surgery required. 

    Another great benefit of dental bonding is that it doesn’t require a tooth to be reshaped in order to accommodate the composite, so it’s entirely reversible if you choose to seek alternative solutions in future.

    Common Applications of Dental Bonding

    These are some of the most common uses for dental bonding that we find here in Melbourne:

    • Repairing chips and cracks
    • Closing gaps between teeth
    • Reshaping teeth
    • Concealing stains and discolouration
    • Repairing a broken front tooth

    Of course, your treatment may vary based on the condition and unique needs of your mouth. At Mulgrave Dental Group, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach - we tailor every treatment to each unique patient.

    Dental Bonding FAQs

    Not sure if dental bonding is right for you? Take a look at the information here to get a better idea as to how it might work for you. And if you need more help, we’re just a call away.

    Dental bonding is quite quick, and can usually be performed in just a single visit. Including consultation, preparation and the application of the resin, we’d expect it to take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. 

    Many of our past patients have loved tooth bonding because it’s typically less expensive (and much quicker) than similar cosmetic dentistry treatments. It’s also usually painless and able to be performed without anaesthesia.

    Some other benefits include:

    • It can be reversed.
    • Dental bonding resin can be repaired or replaced very easily.
    • It allows us to reshape, repair or lengthen teeth without replacing them.
    • It can be used to whiten teeth.
    • Can be used on one tooth or many, as needed.

    Dental bonding treatment can last anywhere from three to 10 years, depending on the location of the treatment, your oral habits and how well you look after your teeth.

    While no single dental treatment is suitable for everyone, we find that dental bonding is suitable for most patients with minor tooth damage or wear. Where it may not be ideal is if you have more severe issues, or you require a tooth replacement rather than a repair.

    During your appointment, your friendly Mulgrave Dental Group expert will evaluate your teeth to determine if bonding is the right option for you, and can suggest alternatives if there’s a more suitable treatment.

    Looking after dental bonding is pretty simple - in fact, it’s no more complex than looking after your regular teeth. To maintain its longevity, try to avoid biting on hard objects (such as ice or lollipops) and always practise good oral hygiene, brushing and flossing regularly.

    Yes, dental bonding is often used to close small gaps between teeth, helping to enhance the aesthetics of your smile.

    The team here are friendly, warm, and excellent at what they do. I've come to Mulgrave Dental Group for a lot of work over the years - extractions, fillings, and implants. I am very pleased with the service and care I received, and want to shout out how thoughtful the entire team is with giving follow up calls and advice for managing pain or any issues after each of my procedures.

    Dr Diluni and the team do amazing work, highly recommended.

    I had a great experience with Mulgrave Dental Group. Dr. Diluni Perera is extremely skilled and responsible.

    She called me four days after my treatment to check on me. She is gentle, caring and considerate. I am very grateful to her. I recommend this practice.

    I have no hesitation in recommending them.
