Dental bonding in Durrës: at Smile Office, the dentist applies and shapes a tooth-coloured composite to repair chipped edges, close small gaps or even out irregular shapes. It is usually done in one visit and keeps most of the natural tooth.

## When bonding is used

- Chipped or cracked edges.

- Small gaps between the front teeth.

- Teeth that look short or irregular.

- Stains that do not respond to [whitening](https://smile-office.al/treatments/professional-whitening/).

## How it is done

- Choosing a composite shade that matches your teeth.

- Light preparation of the surface so the material bonds.

- Applying the composite in layers and hardening it with a light.

- Final shaping and polishing.

## Bonding or veneers?

Bonding is quicker and removes less of the tooth. [Veneers](https://smile-office.al/treatments/veneers/) resist stains and wear better, but usually need the surface reduced. The dentist explains which option fits your case.

## What to know

- Composite stains with coffee, tea and smoking.

- It wears or chips over time and needs refreshing.

- Biting nails or hard objects damages it faster.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does bonding hurt?

Usually not. Most cases need no anaesthetic, because very little of the tooth is touched.

### Can bonding be whitened later?

No, composite does not whiten. If you plan [whitening](https://smile-office.al/treatments/professional-whitening/), it is done before bonding, so the composite shade matches the result.
