Is a chipped tooth making you self-conscious? Do small gaps in your smile bother you? At Edmonton West Dental Clinic in NW Edmonton, we understand the impact a confident smile can have. Composite bonding offers a fantastic solution for correcting minor imperfections and achieving the smile you’ve always wanted. This quick, affordable, and minimally invasive cosmetic procedure can transform your smile in just one visit.
Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves applying a tooth-colored resin material to your teeth. This resin, carefully chosen to match your natural tooth shade, is then sculpted and shaped to correct imperfections like chips, cracks, gaps, discoloration, or even slightly misshapen teeth. A special light then hardens the resin, creating a durable and natural-looking restoration. At Edmonton West Dental Clinic, we use only high-quality, biocompatible composite resins to ensure long-lasting and beautiful results.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
- Personalized Consultation: Your journey to a better smile begins with a consultation with one of our experienced dentists. We’ll listen to your concerns, assess your oral health, and discuss your smile goals to determine if composite bonding is the right fit.
- Precision Shade Matching: Achieving a natural look is paramount. We use advanced shade-matching technology [mention specific technology if applicable] to ensure the composite resin perfectly blends with the color of your surrounding teeth.
- Gentle Tooth Preparation: In most cases, minimal to no tooth preparation is required. If necessary, the surface of the tooth may be lightly roughened to enhance the bonding process.
- Artistic Resin Application: Our dentists possess an artistic eye and meticulous attention to detail. The composite resin is applied in thin layers, allowing for precise shaping and sculpting to achieve the desired aesthetic.
- Efficient Curing Process: A specialized curing light is used to quickly and effectively harden the composite resin, making it strong and durable.
- Final Polishing and Refinement: The bonded area is then polished to a smooth, natural-looking finish, leaving your smile looking its best.

The procedure is typically painless and doesn’t require anesthesia. You may experience some minor sensitivity afterward, but this is usually temporary.

The cost of composite bonding varies depending on the number of teeth involved and the extent of the work required. We offer complimentary consultations where we can assess your needs and provide you with a personalized treatment plan and cost estimate.
