Composite bonding uses the skill and artistry of your dentist to restore any imperfections in your teeth. It is suitable for most patients and uses an established technique in cosmetic dentistry.
By using composite bonding, we can change the shape of your teeth, improve their colour and transform the overall appearance of your smile. A high quality tooth-coloured resin material is bonded directly onto the surface of your tooth, without any tooth structure needing to be removed. The composite is then professionally polished, leaving a shinier, straighter and whiter smile you won’t be able to resist showing off.
Restorations using composite bonding last for many years. Composite can be very easily repaired if it gets broken or comes loose, and can be polished regularly to retain your new smile.
