Composite Bonding

Why have composite bonding?

Composite bonding offers a fast, convenient, and natural-looking way to improve your smile. The tooth-coloured resin blends seamlessly with your teeth, correcting chips, gaps, discoloration, and misshapen teeth in just one visit. Composite bonding is a non-invasive procedure that preserves your natural tooth structure and is typically very comfortable.

We can use composite bonding to restore and rebuild your teeth following damage and as a quick smile makeover, transforming the appearance of your smile. Composite can perfectly mimic tooth enamel and we can colour-match it to your natural tooth shade for a seamless blend, or choose a brighter colour for an overall whiter smile. With no discomfort or downtime, composite bonding is a very popular cosmetic treatment.

What is involved in composite bonding treatment?

At your initial consultation, we ensure you are in good oral health and suitable for treatment. We ask you about your ideal results and give you the chance to ask us any questions. We also make a note of the shade of your natural teeth, or your ideal new shade, so the composite can be colour-matched.

Your composite bonding treatment happens in one short appointment. We first dry the tooth and prepare the surface with a special acidic gel. This creates a rough surface for the composite to properly bond to.

We apply the composite material in layers, gradually building up the accurate shape of your tooth. Using a blue light, we harden the composite, which sets immediately. We then polish the composite so it looks shiny, healthy, and just like a natural tooth.
