Small imperfections in your teeth can make a big difference in how you feel about your smile. At Luka Dental Care in London, Ontario, we offer cosmetic dental bonding as a fast, effective, and affordable way to fix chips, close gaps, smooth uneven edges, and improve tooth shape—all without extensive procedures or a big investment.
Whether you’re prepping for a special event or simply want to feel more confident in photos, bonding can help you achieve natural-looking results in just one visit.
Cosmetic bonding is a non-invasive procedure that uses tooth-colored resin to reshape or repair teeth. The material is sculpted directly onto your tooth, then hardened and polished for a smooth, seamless finish. It blends perfectly with your natural enamel and can be completed in a single appointment—no lab work, no waiting, no drilling (in most cases).
Bonding is ideal for enhancing the look of your teeth while preserving as much natural structure as possible.
Bonding is a versatile treatment that’s perfect for minor cosmetic flaws. It’s commonly used to:
Repair small chips or cracks
Close small gaps between teeth
Reshape teeth that are too short or uneven
Mask discoloration or spots that don’t respond to whitening
Smooth out rough or jagged edges
If you have multiple concerns, we may combine bonding with other treatments—like teeth whitening or veneers—as part of a full smile makeover.
Cosmetic bonding is one of the most straightforward and comfortable procedures we perform at Luka Dental Care. Most treatments take under an hour and require little to no numbing.
You’ll leave the appointment with an instantly improved smile—no downtime needed.
Here’s what your bonding appointment will look like:
We start with an exam and talk through your smile goals.
We select a resin color that blends with your natural teeth.
The tooth is lightly roughened and conditioned to help the bonding material adhere.
We apply the composite resin in layers and carefully shape it to the desired form.
A special light is used to harden the material quickly.
We finish by smoothing and polishing the bonded area for a natural shine and feel.
Dental bonding is best for people looking to improve the look of their teeth without undergoing more complex procedures like veneers or orthodontics. You may be a great candidate if you:
Have generally healthy teeth and gums
Are looking to fix small chips, cracks, or gaps
Want a cost-effective alternative to veneers
Prefer a reversible or non-permanent option
Want same-day results
We’ll evaluate your specific goals and make sure bonding is a good fit. If you’re unsure whether bonding or veneers is better for your situation, we’ll walk you through the differences in durability, cost, and appearance.
Even though dental bonding is a simpler procedure, we still use advanced tools to ensure great results.

In cosmetic dentistry, even small changes matter—so we treat every case with attention to detail and artistry.
While bonding isn’t as long-lasting as porcelain veneers, it can still provide great results for 3–7 years with good care. The lifespan depends on the location of the bonding, your oral habits, and how well you maintain your teeth.
To keep your bonding looking its best:
Avoid biting into hard objects (like ice or pens)
Skip very sticky or chewy candies
Brush and floss daily
Minimize exposure to staining foods or drinks
Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth
Schedule regular checkups at our London, ON dental office
Bonding is one of the most accessible cosmetic treatments for a reason. It’s:
Many cases take just 30 to 60 minutes
Less expensive than veneers or crowns
Often no drilling or anesthesia required
The natural tooth structure remains intact
When done well, no one will know it’s there
It’s an ideal first step for people just beginning to explore cosmetic dentistry or for those who want a quick refresh before a wedding, interview, or special event.
Think of bonding as the “try-on” version of cosmetic dentistry—flexible, low-risk, and often surprisingly transformative.
While veneers, crowns, and orthodontics all have their place, bonding shines when:
You want same-day results without waiting for lab work
You’re on a budget but still want cosmetic improvement
You’re looking for a temporary enhancement before trying something more permanent
You want to see what your smile could look like before committing to veneers
We’ve seen it again and again: a small change leads to a big confidence boost. When you fix a chip that’s been bothering you for years or even out one tooth that always felt “off,” you smile more. You speak up more. You stop holding back in photos or conversations.
That’s what we love about bonding—it’s about empowerment. And at our London, ON dental office, we’re here to help you feel proud of your smile without stress or judgment.

Whether you’re looking to fix a single chip or brighten your entire smile line, you’re in good hands.
Cosmetic bonding is one of the quickest, easiest ways to improve your smile. And sometimes, it’s the little things that make the biggest difference. If you’re ready to love the way your smile looks in the mirror, we’re ready to help.
Most procedures take 30–60 minutes per tooth and can be completed in a single visit.
Not at all. Bonding is usually done without anesthesia unless the tooth has a sensitive area. Most patients feel no discomfort.
Bonding material can stain over time—especially with regular coffee, red wine, or smoking. We’ll give you tips on how to reduce staining.
Bonding can usually be repaired quickly in our office. Call us if you notice any changes in shape or feel.
Bonding is considered a semi-permanent solution. It lasts for several years but may need to be refreshed or replaced eventually.
Whitening treatments don’t work on bonding resin. If you’re planning to whiten your teeth, it’s best to do it before the bonding is color-matched.
They’re different! Bonding is faster and more affordable, while veneers are longer-lasting and more resistant to staining. We’ll help you choose what’s right for your goals.
Brush and floss daily, avoid biting hard objects, and come in for regular cleanings. That’s it!
