Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental treatment that uses thin layers of tooth-coloured composite resin to improve the appearance of your teeth. The composite resin is placed over the surface of the tooth to fill cracks, repair broken teeth, fill gaps, and improve discoloured teeth. Best of all, the entire process can often be completed in just one visit.
Composite bonding offers several benefits, including:
The procedure requires little to no removal of tooth enamel, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
Most bonding treatments can be completed in a single visit.
It is one of the most affordable cosmetic dental procedures available.
Bonding can correct discolouration, chips, cracks, gaps between teeth, and make teeth look longer or change their overall shape.
Your dentist selects a composite resin colour that closely matches your natural teeth.
The surface of the tooth is slightly roughened, and a conditioning liquid is applied to help the bonding material adhere.
The composite resin is then applied, moulded, and smoothed to achieve the desired shape.
An ultraviolet light or laser hardens the material.
Finally, your dentist will trim and polish the composite to match the sheen of the rest of the tooth surface.
