Composite Bonding
Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure where a tooth-coloured resin material is applied to the surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. It’s a versatile and minimally invasive technique used for:
Repairing chipped or cracked teeth
Closing gaps between teeth
Reshaping or elongating teeth
Covering discoloured teeth
Preparation
The dentist lightly etches the tooth’s surface and applies a conditioning liquid to ensure a strong bond.
Application
The resin, which matches the colour of your natural teeth, is applied, moulded, and sculpted to the desired shape.
Curing
A special UV light is used to harden the resin, bonding it securely to your tooth.
Finishing
The bonded tooth is polished to achieve a smooth and natural finish.
Composite bonding is a quick, effective way to enhance your smile and boost your confidence. It’s a popular choice due to its affordability and the fact that it usually requires little to no removal of healthy tooth structure.
