What you need to know
What happens at your appointment
Every visit at Dovers is clear and comfortable. Here is exactly what to expect.
Shade Selection
Your dentist selects a composite resin shade precisely matching your natural tooth colour, or a slightly brighter shade if you prefer a whitening effect.
Surface Preparation
The tooth surface is lightly etched and a bonding agent applied. For most bonding cases this is quick and completely painless with no anaesthesia required.
Resin Sculpting
Composite resin is applied in layers, sculpted by hand to the precise shape needed whether filling a chip, extending a tooth edge, or covering discolouration.
Curing & Polishing
Each layer is set with a curing light. The final shape is refined and polished to match the sheen of your natural teeth. The transformation is immediate.
Why Lagos patients choose us
Artistry in Shaping
Beautiful bonding requires a clinician who blends composite precisely and shapes it so it looks like a natural extension of the tooth. Skill and artistry both matter here.
Same-Day Results
A chipped front tooth before a presentation or important event is stressful. In most cases bonding can be done the same day you call.
Honest About Limitations
Bonding is less durable than porcelain and more prone to staining. We tell you honestly when bonding is the right answer and when veneers would serve you better long-term.
Conservative Dentistry Philosophy
We always recommend the most conservative approach that achieves your desired result. If bonding can fix the problem, we will not push for more invasive options.
Frequently asked questions
Dental bonding typically lasts 3 to 7 years depending on location, size, and your habits. Avoiding biting nails, pens, ice, and hard objects extends its life significantly.
Composite resin is used for both, but they serve different purposes. Fillings repair decay-damaged teeth. Bonding improves the appearance of a healthy tooth.
In most cases, no. Bonding to repair a chip does not typically require tooth preparation or anaesthesia.
Yes, and we recommend it. Composite resin does not respond to whitening agents, so it is better to whiten first then shade-match the bonding to your new, whiter colour.
Bonding uses resin applied directly in one appointment. Veneers are lab-fabricated porcelain shells requiring two appointments. Veneers are more durable but more expensive. Bonding is faster, cheaper, and more conservative.
