Composite Bonding

Enhance, repair and restore individual teeth with composite bonding – an instant and fast route to a more natural-looking smile.

There’s a great deal of artistic flair that goes alongside the science and experience needed to deliver this treatment well. We’re pleased to say our dentists possess this, and we’ve helped countless patients achieve the results they deserve.

Composite bonding – what you need to know

Composite bonding is one of our favourite ways of making your teeth look like their absolute best.

The process is hugely appealing to patients, particularly to those who want to spend minimal time in the dentist’s chair, but with maximum results.

Unlike veneers, composite bonding can be done in one appointment, and it rivals veneers in its ability to give you the most natural result possible. Though composite bonding generally doesn’t last as long as veneers (and the resins will stain more readily) it is a great introductory treatment to cosmetic dental work.

What to expect

Consultation and chat

We will have an informal chat about how you would like your smile to improve. Your dentist can also suggest some ways in which to enhance the natural beauty of your smile through composite bonding.

Your dentist will make a plan to use the resins to treat your tooth (or teeth, if you are having a full smile makeover using composite bonding).

Treatment

The layers of composite resin are placed onto your teeth bit by bit. A UV light is used to harden the resins in place, and the resins are polished to look as close to tooth enamel as possible.

Our dentists are meticulous when attaching the resins to the tooth, leaving no adjoining line visible to the naked eye. The new portion of the composite is bonded in the most natural way possible.
