What to expect on the day

1. Consultation: the dentist checks your teeth and gums and talks through what you want. Some practices do this as a separate visit first.
2. Shade matching: a resin colour is chosen to match your teeth. If you want whitening, it's usually done before bonding, as bonding doesn't change colour.
3. Preparing the tooth: the surface is lightly roughened and a conditioning gel applied so the resin sticks. Often no drilling or injection is needed.
4. Shaping and hardening: the resin is applied in layers, shaped by hand and hardened with a blue light.
5. Polishing: the dentist checks your bite and polishes the teeth. A few teeth commonly take one to two hours.
6. Aftercare: avoid strong-staining foods and drinks for a day or two, don't bite hard objects, and keep up hygiene visits. Bonding typically lasts several years before it needs touching up.
