You’ve probably heard of composite bonding… but is it actually the right treatment for you?
Not everyone needs composite bonding.
It’s usually a great option if you have chipped teeth, worn edges, small gaps, uneven teeth, or you simply want to improve the shape and appearance of your smile without removing much of your natural tooth.
Composite bonding involves carefully adding a tooth-coloured resin directly onto your teeth to improve their shape, size and colour.
But here’s the important part…
If your teeth have large fillings, significant wear, cracks, or they’re structurally weak, composite bonding may not be the best option. In those situations, porcelain crowns or veneers may provide a stronger, longer-lasting solution.
So, what’s the process?
First, we digitally design your new smile. Before touching your teeth, we can transfer that design into your mouth so you can see what your new smile could look like.
Once you’re happy, we carefully prepare the teeth where needed and artistically layer the composite material directly onto them. Each tooth is then shaped and polished to create a natural-looking smile.
The best part? In many cases, composite bonding can be completed in just one appointment.
