Cosmetic Bonding in McKennell Dental Practice
A complete smile in minutes!
Cosmetic Bonding—an Overview
Are minor gaps between the front teeth making your smile uneven? Do you have multiple broken edges of the teeth that feel sharp? Then, here’s the good news—not all dental problems need tedious procedures. Cosmetic bonding in McKennell Dental Practice is a simple, painless, and effective way to restore your smile. We use tooth-coloured composite material to reshape and rebuild damaged teeth—blending seamlessly with the looks and feel of natural enamel.
What is Cosmetic Bonding?
Cosmetic bonding, commonly called tooth bonding, is a customisable dental procedure that repairs, restores, and improves the appearance of teeth. Cracks, chips, tooth discolourations, and gaps can all be repaired and restored with tooth-coloured composite resin dental cement. The material is strong, long-lasting, precisely positioned, moulded, and polished to blend in with the natural colour and feel of your teeth.
Fixing minor flaws early prevents additional wear and fracture, protects the inner tooth pulp (nerves), and saves you from future complex, expensive dental procedures like RCTs, dental crowns, and dental bridges.
Do You Need Cosmetic Bonding?
Teeth bonding is ideal for the following dental issues:
- Minor chips or cracks in teeth result in ragged edges and gaps.
- Uneven tooth margins or little gaps.
- Teeth that are discoloured or stained.
- Abrasions, minor breakages, enamel loss, and other issues occur as a result of tooth wear.
- If you prefer a less intrusive and painless option.
We regularly provide consultations and tooth bonding treatments to patients from Victoria, Pimlico, and Westminster.
Benefits of Cosmetic Bonding
Quick
Most bonding treatments can be finished in a single session, making them ideal for upcoming vacation plans or social engagements.
Painless
There is no discomfort, no need for drilling or reshaping the teeth, and no sensitivity or bleeding.
Preserves natural teeth
Tooth wear buildups require little to no drilling and shaping of natural teeth—thus, it is a conservative option.
Options to customise and adapt to the natural smile
They can be exactly colour-matched to your teeth, resulting in a perfect finish.
Cost-effective
Cosmetic bonding is less expensive than veneers and offers identical benefits at a lower cost.
Convenience
It is painless, quick, and produces good aesthetic results, making it an ideal starting point for concerned dental patients.
What Our Patients Say
I was anxious about the removal of a molar with old root canal treatment but I need not have worried. Dr Lucie Savatier and her assistant were brilliant and so kind. I was concerned when the practice changed ownership but I am more than happy with the very high standard of care by Dr Lucie. Many thanks.
Ask for Dr Shima, the professional, gentle and kind dentist who restored my teeth. I am so grateful that I found you; can’t thank you enough.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Find the answers to the most commonly asked questions regarding the treatment below:
How do I care for bonded teeth?
Take care of your filled teeth the same way you would your natural teeth. The aftercare process includes brushing and flossing your teeth every day, avoiding hard, crunchy foods, and visiting your dentist regularly. Use non-abrasive toothpaste to protect the resin cement’s smooth surface.
How long does cosmetic bonding last?
Cosmetic bonding can last between 5 and 10 years with adequate care. To keep your bonded teeth in good condition, avoid biting hard objects, exercise good dental hygiene, and see your dentist periodically.
Will bonded teeth stain over time?
Composite resin can discolour if exposed to certain foods, beverages, or smoking over time. Reduce your use of tea, coffee, red wine, and curries, and clean your teeth on a regular basis to keep them healthy.
The Treatment Process
Every patient’s experience is unique, but this is what you can expect when you start treatment with the Smile 4 U Dental Practice.
Consultation
We start with a thorough discussion of your smile goals, needs, and treatment expectations, as well as tooth bonding prices, before developing a personalised treatment plan for you.
Treatment
Tooth bonding requires minimal enamel shaping and modification, making it a painless operation. Local anaesthesia is usually not required unless your tooth is particularly sensitive.
A perfect smile
Finally, the bonded tooth is polished to a smooth, natural-looking finish, giving your smile a new and stunning appearance, and the review appointments are scheduled.
