Tooth contouring is used to smooth-away chipped teeth or to subtly re-shape or change the length of teeth to give you a more appealing smile. This procedure is relatively quick and inexpensive.

Tooth bonding is a procedure where your dentist applies a tooth-coloured composite resin to one or more of your teeth to repair damage. It’s a cost-effective solution because it’s considerably less expensive than other cosmetic dental procedures, such as crowns and veneers.

Tooth bonding can fix a defect or imperfection within a tooth and can also close small gaps in between teeth. Tooth bonding can also increase the size of a tooth. For example, maybe you have a tooth that’s shorter than the rest, and you want them all to be the same length.

Bonding is a fast procedure and doesn’t require any down time. If you don’t need anaesthesia, you can continue with your normal daily routine after the procedure. Bonding might not work if you have severe tooth damage or decay. You may need a veneer or crown instead.

Teeth bonding is not a permanent solution to your cosmetic dental issues, but it is a very long-lasting one.
