Composite Bonding

Composite bonding is a minimally invasive treatment to improve the appearance of your teeth.

What is composite bonding?

Composite bonding is a treatment similar to veneers. A strong and durable tooth-coloured composite is applied to the surface of the tooth to reshape or restore the appearance of teeth. The material is carefully applied and shaped directly onto the tooth to improve its colour and shape and create a uniform, natural-looking tooth surface. Unlike veneers, which use porcelain, composite bonding uses multiple layers of composite material to restore the surface of the tooth.

An overview of composite bonding

When is composite bonding useful?

Composite bonding can be used to improve the appearance of teeth with minor chips, discolouration, uneven edges, gaps and changes in shape.  It can be a suitable option for patients looking to enhance their smile with a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment.

Is composite bonding affordable?

Yes. Composite bonding can be a more affordable alternative to porcelain veneers, depending on your individual treatment needs. It is also generally a less invasive treatment and can often be completed in fewer appointments.

How does composite bonding treatment work?

Initial Consultation

Your appointment will involve a discussion about your goals, treatment options and expected results. Composite bonding is a minimally invasive and relatively quick procedure. For some patients, treatment can be completed in a single appointment.

Undergoing Treatment

The tooth-coloured composite is carefully applied in layers and shaped directly onto the tooth to make subtle changes to its colour and shape. Your dentist will carefully sculpt and polish the material to create a natural-looking result.

Flexible treatment options for future

Composite bonding is less invasive than porcelain veneers, but it may not last as long. One of the advantages is that it can be repaired and amended in the future to match tooth colour, shape or alignment changes.
