Say ‘Goodbye’ To the Things You Dislike About Your Teeth

Composite bonding achieves a natural-looking tooth-to-tooth ratio, which makes a significant difference to how your smile looks amongst your facial features.

The benefits don’t stop there, though: treatment can also improve the shade of discoloured teeth that are resistant to teeth whitening gels, and fill out chipped teeth.

Using composite, we can restore individual teeth but it’s also possible to deliver a smile makeover. This is when composite is used on multiple teeth that are misshapen or chipped.

When performing a smile makeover with composite, we will show you how the composite looks over the top of your teeth. Once you are happy with the design (which we’re sure you will be!), our dentists can go ahead, using their keen eye for artistry, and produce the natural-looking result you’re looking for.

Composite resin is effective at mimicking the appearance of real tooth enamel. As talented and experienced cosmetic dentists, we will be able to create a result that cannot be distinguished from genuine natural tooth enamel.

FAQs

Is Composite Bonding Better Than Porcelain Veneers?

We recommend composite bonding to patients seeking minimally-invasive and preservative treatment. Veneers on the other hand, are more involved, as tooth structure must be removed in order to adhere the porcelain firmly to your tooth. Veneers are generally a longer-lasting solution, and the use of porcelain to create them makes for a superior cosmetic outcome to composite bonding.

Can Composite Bonding Be Combined With Teeth Whitening?

Many of our patients combine composite bonding with teeth whitening. As composite resin does not react to whitening gel, teeth whitening will need to be carried out prior to composite bonding. Once the desired shade is achieved with the whitening process, the resins can be matched to the shade of your newly whitened teeth.
