Cosmetic bonding is also known as composite bonding and is a practical and economical solution for repairing minor damage to smaller areas of teeth or creating an improved cosmetic appearance.
It can be used when a tooth is chipped, rotated or when there are small gaps between your teeth. It can also be used in combination with orthodontic treatment and whitening to give you the perfect smile.
A shade of white resin is carefully selected to match the existing colour of your teeth. The surface of the tooth is then prepared usually without the need of anaesthetic. In many instances no drilling is required at all. Tooth-coloured composite resin is then applied and smoothed to the required shape and set with a curing laser light. The new tooth surface is then polished to give a smooth appearance.

Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that uses a tooth-coloured resin material to repair and enhance the appearance of teeth. The resin is moulded and shaped to correct chips, cracks, gaps, or discolouration, providing a natural-looking smile.
While composite bonding can last several years with proper care, it's not a permanent solution. Factors like diet, oral hygiene, and teeth grinding can affect its longevity. Regular dental check-ups and touch-ups may be necessary.
The duration of a composite bonding procedure varies depending on the extent of the treatment. Typically, it can be completed in one or two dental visits.
Composite bonding is generally a painless procedure. Your dentist will use a local anaesthetic to numb the area if necessary. The process itself is usually comfortable.
To maintain your composite bonding, practise good oral hygiene by brushing twice daily, flossing regularly, and using a fluoride mouthwash. Avoid biting hard objects or chewing on ice. Regular dental check-ups are also essential.
Yes, composite bonding is an effective way to repair chipped teeth. The resin material can be matched to the colour of your natural teeth for a seamless result.
