What is composite bonding?
Composite bonding uses a tooth-coloured resin material that is carefully applied and shaped directly onto the tooth surface. The material is colour-matched to your natural teeth, then polished to blend seamlessly with your smile.
Bonding can be used to address a wide range of cosmetic concerns, including:
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Worn or uneven edges
- Minor discolouration
Irregular tooth shape or size
Explaining your composite bonding treatment in 5 simple steps
Step 1 - Smile consultation
Your journey begins with a consultation to understand your goals. We assess your teeth, discuss what bonding can achieve and confirm whether it’s the right option for you.
Step 2 - Smile planning
We plan the shape, shade and proportions of your bonded teeth to ensure the final result looks natural and complements your facial features.
Step 3 - Tooth preparation
In most cases, little to no tooth preparation is required. The surface is gently prepared to allow the bonding material to adhere securely.
Step 4 - Composite application and shaping
The composite resin is applied in layers and carefully sculpted to achieve the desired shape. Once set, it is polished to a smooth, natural finish.
Step 5 - Final review and care advice
We review your smile together and provide guidance on caring for your bonded teeth to help maintain results long-term.
