Composite Bonding
What is Composite Bonding?
Composite bonding is a minimally invasive cosmetic dental treatment that uses tooth-coloured composite resin to enhance the shape, size, or colour of your teeth. It’s ideal for fixing:
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Uneven edges
- Gaps between teeth
- Worn-down teeth
- Small or misshapen teeth
This procedure is often completed in a single visit, without any drilling or damage to your natural teeth.
Who Is Composite Bonding Suitable For?
Composite bonding is perfect for anyone looking for a quick and affordable smile enhancement. Whether you’ve had tooth wear, were born with irregularly shaped teeth, or just want to improve your smile line, bonding can help achieve a more uniform and confident appearance.
What Does the Procedure Involve?
-
Consultation & Smile Design
We’ll assess your teeth and discuss your smile goals. Photos may be taken to plan your results. -
Tooth Preparation
Usually, no drilling is needed. The tooth surface is cleaned and lightly roughened to help the composite adhere. -
Application
The composite resin is colour-matched to your natural teeth and skilfully shaped by your dentist. -
Sculpting & Polishing
Once set with a curing light, the material is refined and polished for a smooth, natural finish.
How long does composite bonding last?
With proper care, composite bonding can last a while, depending on your bite and habits like grinding.
Does it damage the teeth?
No – composite bonding is non-invasive and does not remove any healthy tooth structure.
Can bonding be whitened?
The bonding material doesn’t respond to whitening, so we recommend whitening your teeth before bonding if desired.
Is bonding painful?
No, the treatment is completely pain-free and usually doesn’t require an anaesthetic.
Will people notice I've had bonding done?
The resin is colour-matched to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
