Composite Bonding

Composite bonding is a highly versatile and innovative treatment that aims to transform the overall aesthetics of your smile. For this reason, dentists can use it for many diverse cases, especially if you suffer from these minor but common cosmetic imperfections:

• You have chipped or fractured teeth.
• You have discoloured or stained teeth.
• You have significant gaps between teeth.
• You have crooked or ill-shaped teeth.
• You have worn-down teeth.

Composite bonding can transform your smile within one to two appointments, so it is a relatively quick and effective solution for treating your teeth.

At the examining stage, we will thoroughly examine your smile and the tooth in question (be that a chipped, discoloured or fractured tooth) and discuss the best way to restore it. We will also ask about your desired shape and conduct a colour match so the composite resin blends in with the rest of your smile.

Before treatment, we will clean the selected tooth (or teeth). The putty-like resin will be applied in thin layers and sculpted, ensuring a beautifully natural result.

In the final moments, the resin is hardened and set under a special high-intensity UV light called a ‘curing light’ so you can resume your daily activities immediately. The tooth is also professionally buffed and polished.

• You can make cosmetic improvements to your smile quickly.
• It’s highly versatile, so our dentists can use it to fix various cosmetic concerns, from chipped teeth to fractures, gaps between teeth, and even discolouration.
• You’re in charge of designing your smile with various resin shades and edging shapes.
• Minimally invasive, painless and requires no recovery time.
• Cost-effective solution for minor defects compared to crowns, orthodontics and porcelain veneers. It’s also reversible.
• Regular brushing and good oral hygiene ensure composite bonding lasts around 5-6 years before requiring any polish or repair.

• Composite resin can’t always cover dark brown or deep staining.
• It isn’t as durable or long-lasting as porcelain veneers or crowns.
• Not resistant to staining; following the right lifestyle choices is essential, from avoiding certain foods and drinks to regular teeth brushing. We also advise you to stop smoking.
• Trauma can easily damage composite bonding. It’s best to avoid bad habits like chewing pencils or ice cubes. If you play sports, be sure to wear a mouthguard.
