What is Composite Bonding?
The world of cosmetic dentistry is evolving all the time and the focus is now shifting to minimally invasive treatments which do not require removal of the tooth structure.
Composite bonding is at the forefront of this revolution as it is minimally invasive and can transform the appearance, shape and shade of the teeth on the same day.
Composite – the tooth coloured filling material.
Bonding – the mechanical process whereby the tooth colour filling material is attached to the teeth.
The composite is bonded to the natural tooth and is hand sculpted by the dentist to the desired shape to create a natural looking tooth. A wide variety of shades are available to ensure that the colour matches perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is composite bonding?
Composite bonding is a dental procedure where a tooth coloured resin material is applied and sculpted onto the teeth to improve their appearance. Composite bonding is commonly used to fix chipped, discoloured or misshapen teeth, as well as to close small gaps between teeth.
How is composite bonding different from veneers?
Composite bonding involves applying a resin directly onto the tooth and shaping it to the desired shape. Composite bonding does not damage the tooth surface. Veneers are thin shells made from porcelain or composite material that are custom made and bonded to the front surface of the tooth. Veneers require the tooth surface to be filed down.

The procedure is typically painless as it usually does not require the use of local anesthesia. However, some patients my experience mild discomfort or sensitivity during the procedure.
