Dental bonding or composite bonding involves applying a tooth-coloured resin to your teeth which is shaped and set with an ultraviolet light.
Dental bonding is one of the most conservative methods to repair chipped teeth, fill cracked teeth and change your smile. The procedure is quick, cost effective and usually requires no anaesthesia.
Dental bonding is a cosmetic procedure that uses a tooth-coloured composite resin material to enhance your smile. It is sometimes called composite bonding.
This procedure is used to repair chips, close down gaps or change the shape and colour of a tooth. Unlike other cosmetic dental treatments, such as porcelain veneers, dental bonding is completely reversible.
During the procedure, your dentist applies tooth-coloured resin material to the affected teeth to change their shape, size or colour.
The procedure uses tooth-coloured composite resin material to:
- Conceal chips or cracks in your teeth
- Hide discolouration
- Close gaps and spaces between your teeth
- Make your teeth look longer
- Change the shape of your teeth.
- The same composite resin material used in bonding is also used in fillings.
