Even if, clinically speaking, there is nothing wrong with your smile, you may still be living with small cracks, chips, gaps, or worn-down teeth that are stopping you from showing off your smile to the fullest. If this is the case, then composite bonding might be the answer. This minimally-invasive cosmetic treatment doesn’t require drilling or needles and can help completely transform an unhappy, uneven-looking smile.
What is composite bonding?
Composite bonding is a procedure that is used to even out the size, shape or colour of your teeth or cover any minor issues of your smile. It is done for cosmetic purposes. Composite bonding can be used on:
It can also be used to close small gaps or to lengthen small teeth.
How does composite bonding work?
Our dentist will use a composite resin (a putty-like substance) to get the desired shape and then harden it with a UV light. It is then polished to closely resemble your natural tooth.
How long does composite bonding take?
Composite bonding can be applied in just one appointment, but is often used to complement other cosmetic treatments such as teeth whitening and realignment treatments like Invisalign® or braces.
How can I be assured that the composite will match my tooth colour?
The composite comes in a range of shades to match your smile. That’s why some patients choose to have their teeth whitened before composite bonding.
Our skilled team will sculpt this highly adhesive material into the desired shape, leaving the teeth looking more even, uniform, and aesthetically pleasing.
Composite bonding is highly versatile and easy to maintain.
Although it can be subject to cracks, chips, and breakages over time, cosmetic bonding can easily be reapplied and maintained.
