Cosmetic Bonding

Nope! It’s one of the most comfortable cosmetic treatments. No needles, no drilling—just gentle surface work.

On average, 5–10 years depending on where it’s placed and how well you care for it. It can be touched up or replaced as needed.

The material can stain over time if you regularly consume staining foods or smoke. Bonded areas can also chip if you bite hard objects. But with good habits and routine check-ups, it holds up well.

Bonding for cosmetic reasons is usually not covered. If it’s done to repair damage from an accident or fracture, some insurers may provide partial cover. We’ll always check for you.

It depends on your goals. Veneers offer more durability and dramatic changes but require more prep and cost. Bonding is ideal for small changes and a more conservative approach.

Whitening doesn’t work on bonding material. We recommend whitening first, then bonding to match the new shade.

Not significantly. We polish and shape the resin to feel smooth and blend with your bite. You may notice a slight texture difference at first, but most patients adjust instantly.

It depends on how many teeth are being bonded. A single tooth may take 30–60 minutes. Multiple areas can be done in one visit with minimal interruption.

Bonding can create the illusion of straighter teeth, but it doesn’t move teeth like braces or Invisalign. We’ll help you choose the right approach.

Not when done well. At Passion Dental, we colour-match and shape the resin precisely for a natural finish. Most people won’t even notice you’ve had anything done.

Skip crunchy, sticky, or hard foods for the first 24 hours. Avoid biting directly into hard foods with bonded teeth. Use a mouthguard if you grind.

Not really. Just brush, floss, and visit us regularly. We’ll check the bonding at each visit and polish as needed.

Yes! It’s a great option for fixing chips or gaps in teens and young adults who aren’t ready for more permanent solutions.

Call us. We can often repair or touch up the bonding quickly and affordably.

Unlikely. We’re meticulous about shade matching. If your teeth are discoloured, we may recommend whitening first.

That’s what we’re here for. We’ll walk you through your options during your consult and help you decide based on your smile goals, budget, and timeline.

You can eat and drink right after your appointment, but we recommend avoiding dark-coloured drinks like coffee or wine for the first 24 hours.

Absolutely. It often complements whitening, Invisalign, or other cosmetic plans as a finishing touch.

For many, absolutely. It’s one of the quickest, least invasive, and most affordable ways to improve your smile.
