Composite bonding

Composite bonding is a routine treatment to restore teeth, either for cosmetic reasons, or to build up tooth structure that has been lost. It involves bonding a tooth-coloured resin material to existing teeth to reshape them or improve their colour. This is very popular for patients that are wanting to quickly improve their smile.

Improve your smile

Composite bonding can improve your smile by changing the shape and colour of your teeth. The colour of the resin is matched closely to your teeth, so it appears as a natural part of your tooth. This provides you with a quick and effective smile makeover.

Composite bonding can be used to artificially straighten teeth, this means that we make the front surfaces of your teeth line up and look straighter.

Alternative to porcelain veneers

Composite bonding is used as an alternative to Porcelain Veneers. The major advantages to composite bonding are:

  • You can have a smile makeover in fewer appointments
  • Patients get instant results
  • Chips and fractures can be repaired easily
  • The procedure is less invasive and preserves more tooth structure
  • More cost effective than porcelain veneers

How does it work ...

Examination

Application
