Composite Bonding

As the composite is colour-matched to your teeth, the end result looks just like a natural tooth. Rebuilding the shape of a tooth takes skill and our dentists are adept at creating life-like restorations.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF COMPOSITE BONDING?

• Rebuilding the external shell will prevent any tooth pain and protect the sensitive internal structure of the tooth.
• We will colour-match the composite to your teeth, the restoration looks natural and similar to your natural teeth.
• There’s no need to remove a layer of enamel so the existing integrity of your tooth is maintained.
• If your teeth have worn away through grinding we can use bonding to repair and reshape resulting in an improvement of the overall bite.

WHAT’S INVOLVED IN THE TREATMENT?

As we carry out the restoration in our practice, we can repair and improve your smile in one appointment. We use a special gel to prepare the surface, then clean and dry the tooth. The composite resin is added to the tooth in layers, gradually building up the shape. We then use a special light to harden the resin. All that’s left is to polish the tooth and it looks as good as new.
