Q&As:
What is composite bonding?
Composite bonding is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that restores the appearance and functionality of your smile, a tooth coloured resin is applied to the tooth and manipulated into shape using special instruments.
What does composite bonding achieve?
Closing Gaps between Teeth: Bonding can be used to close small spaces or gaps between teeth. By applying the composite resin to the edges of adjacent teeth, a dentist can create a more uniform and aesthetically pleasing smile.
Reshaping Irregular Teeth: Teeth that are uneven or have irregular shapes can often be reshaped using composite bonding. The resin is applied to specific areas of the tooth to improve symmetry and create a more harmonious appearance.
Improving Tooth Colour: Composite bonding can be used to change the colour of discolored or stained teeth. The resin material can be color-matched to the natural shade of the surrounding teeth, providing a more uniform and attractive smile.
Lengthening Teeth: In cases where teeth appear too short or have an uneven length, composite bonding can be applied to lengthen and reshape them. This can help create a more balanced and proportionate smile.

Regular maintenance and good oral hygiene practices are essential to ensure the longevity of the bonding.
