Dental Bond
What Exactly Is a Dental Bond?
Think of it like a filler for your tooth. When a tooth chips, cracks, has a gap next to it, or appears darker than the rest, a composite resin — a safe, tooth-coloured plastic material — is carefully applied to that area. Your dentist shapes it to match your natural tooth, then hardens it with a curing light. The whole thing takes 30 to 45 minutes per tooth.
People often search for this as bond dental treatment or a tooth bond — it's the same procedure, just different ways of saying it.
When Should You Get a Dental Bond?
Chipped or Broken Tooth
The most common reason. A small chip on a front tooth is very noticeable when you smile or talk. A dental bond fills it back in — you won't be able to tell it was ever chipped.
Gap Between Two Teeth
If the gap is small, bonding can close it without the need for braces or aligners. It's quick, painless, and looks natural.
Discoloured Tooth
Some teeth stain in a way that whitening can't fix — old fillings that have gone grey, or teeth with internal staining. Bonding covers it completely.
Worn Down Edges
Teeth that look shorter than they should — often from grinding or age — can be built back up with a composite bond.
Sensitive Exposed Root
If your gum has receded and the root of a tooth is exposed, bonding can cover and protect the area, reducing sensitivity.
How Much Does a Dental Bond Cost in Gurgaon?

These are straightforward prices — no hidden charges. During your consultation, you'll know the exact cost before anything starts.
Dental Bond vs Veneer — What's the Difference?
Many patients come in asking about veneers when a dental bond would suffice.
Choose a dental bond if:
- The damage is minor — a small chip, crack, or gap
- You want it done in one visit
- You're looking for the most affordable option
- You want a reversible treatment
Choose a veneer if:
- You want to change the shape or colour of multiple teeth at once
- You need something longer-lasting (10–15 years vs 5–8 years for bonding)
- You're doing a full smile makeover
