Affordable Dental Bonding in Sherwood Park
At Granada Dental, we believe cosmetic dentistry shouldn’t be out of reach. Whether you’ve chipped a tooth, noticed uneven edges, or are self-conscious about gaps or discoloration, dental bonding offers a simple, affordable solution that can restore your confidence—often in just one visit.
Our practice has been serving Sherwood Park families and professionals for over 30 years, and we understand that not every smile fix needs to come with a major price tag. Dental bonding provides a convenient, low-cost way to enhance your smile without compromising on results.
What Is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure where a tooth-colored composite resin is applied and sculpted to repair or enhance a tooth’s appearance. It’s an ideal solution for:
-
Chipped or cracked teeth
-
Gaps between teeth
-
Uneven or worn edges
-
Minor discolouration
-
Slightly misshapen teeth
The resin is carefully matched to the shade of your natural teeth and then hardened using a special curing light. The result? A restored, natural-looking smile that blends right in.
Why Choose Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is often a go-to treatment for patients looking for a fast, affordable, and non-invasive way to enhance their smile. Here’s why it’s popular:
Common Questions About Dental Bonding
How long does dental bonding last?
Dental bonding typically lasts 3 to 7 years, depending on the location of the bonding, your oral habits, and how well you care for your teeth. We use durable composite materials and apply them with attention to bite forces and wear areas to help extend longevity.
Is bonding painful?
Not at all. In fact, most bonding procedures don’t even require anesthesia unless the area being treated is near a nerve or part of a larger restoration.
Will people notice I’ve had dental work?
Probably not. We take pride in our ability to match the shade and shape of your teeth closely. For most people, the results are indistinguishable from the natural tooth.
Is dental bonding covered by insurance?
It depends. If bonding is done for restorative reasons (like fixing a chipped tooth), it’s often partially covered. For purely cosmetic improvements, coverage may vary. We offer direct insurance billing and can confirm your benefits before starting.
What to Expect During the Appointment
Here’s how a typical dental bonding session works at Granada Dental:
-
Assessment and Shade Matching
We examine the area to be treated and select a composite resin shade that closely matches your natural teeth.
-
Tooth Preparation
Minimal prep is needed. The surface of the tooth is gently roughened and treated with a conditioning liquid to help the bonding material adhere.
-
Application and Shaping
The resin is applied, sculpted to the ideal shape, and smoothed out for a natural look.
-
Curing and Polishing
A special light is used to harden the resin. We then fine-tune the shape and polish it for a natural finish.
The whole process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes per tooth, with no downtime needed afterward.
Caring for Bonded Teeth
While dental bonding is strong, it isn’t indestructible. Here’s how to make your results last:
-
Avoid biting hard objects (like ice, pens, or fingernails)
-
Limit staining foods and drinks (coffee, tea, red wine)
-
Brush and floss daily using non-abrasive toothpaste
-
Schedule regular dental cleanings and checkups
With the right care, your bonded teeth will look great and stay healthy for years.
When Is Bonding Not the Best Option?
While bonding is excellent for minor cosmetic issues, it may not be ideal for:
-
Large chips or structural damage
-
Significant bite problems
-
Areas with heavy chewing forces
In those cases, we may recommend veneers or crowns for better durability. During your consultation, we’ll explain your options and help you make an informed choice based on both aesthetics and long-term function.
