Composite bonding is one of the most versatile cosmetic dental treatments available. Using a tooth-coloured resin applied directly to the teeth, we can repair chips, close small gaps, correct uneven edges, and completely transform the look of your smile, often in a single appointment with no drilling required.
This treatment is ideal if you
Composite bonding involves applying a tooth-coloured resin material directly to the surface of your teeth. The resin is carefully sculpted and shaped by our dentist, then hardened with a special light. It bonds tightly to the tooth, creating a natural-looking result that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth.
Composite bonding is ideal for chipped or cracked teeth, small gaps between teeth, teeth that are slightly misshapen or uneven in length, discolouration that does not respond to whitening, and minor irregularities you find distracting. It is a conservative option that preserves more of your natural tooth structure than veneers.
In most cases, composite bonding can be completed in a single visit. We begin by selecting a shade of resin that matches your natural teeth, then apply, sculpt, and polish the composite to achieve the desired shape and finish. No anaesthetic is usually needed, and the treatment is comfortable and straightforward.
With proper care, composite bonding typically lasts between five and seven years. Avoiding habits such as nail biting, chewing pens, or biting hard foods will help extend its longevity. We recommend attending regular hygiene appointments and using a non-abrasive toothpaste to keep your bonding looking its best.
