What Is Composite Bonding?
Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental treatment that involves applying a tooth-coloured resin to the surface of the teeth. It can be used to repair chipped teeth, close small gaps, or improve the shape and appearance of natural teeth. The resin is carefully applied and shaped to blend with the surrounding teeth. This is a conservative cosmetic treatment, and in some cases, it may be completed in a single visit.
How the Treatment Works
The composite bonding clinical process may follow the following steps:
A clinical assessment is carried out to examine the condition of the teeth and gums and to discuss your cosmetic concerns. This helps determine whether composite bonding is suitable for you.
Based on the assessment, a personalised treatment plan is created to achieve the desired outcome while preserving natural tooth structure.
A tooth-coloured composite material is applied to the tooth surface. The material is carefully shaped and moulded to match the surrounding teeth. It is then hardened and refined to provide a natural appearance.
After treatment, the clinician will review the result and provide advice on maintaining good oral hygiene and caring for the bonded teeth.
