Do you have decayed, chipped, fractured, or discoloured front teeth? If so, then composite bonding is an affordable and quick solution to improve the shape and appearance of your teeth. The process involves bonding a tooth-coloured resin material to your existing teeth to reshape or improve the colour of your teeth. The process of reshaping can be used to close gaps between teeth or to make your teeth long longer. If you have receding gums then this process can also be used to protect the roots that have been exposed as a result of receding gums. The duration of this type of restoration is approximately 5-6 years at which time it may need to be repaired in some way or polished.
What are the benefits of Composite Bonding?
- Composite Bonding is reliable and safe. It is entirely reversible and non-aggressive to teeth.
- Composite bonding does not require the extraction of any tooth unless there is tooth decay.
- The composite bonding procedure is completely pain-free. The use of anesthetic or drilling is not required if deep decay is not present.
What is the procedure for Composite Bonding?
Step-By-Step Procedure:
- The first step is for a clinical examination including selecting the right shade of resin colour to match your existing teeth and consultation.
- In the event of tooth decay, the administration of a local anesthetic is to remove the decayed part of the tooth.
- Scraping the surface of the tooth for the resin to stick.
- If necessary, shape the tooth.
- The exposed surface of the tooth will be coated with a gel.
- Applying the bonding agent.
- A special light is used for the bonding agent to harden.
- Matching the rest of your tooth surface the restoration will be trimmed and polished.

Can I Whiten a Bonded Tooth?
Dental bonding won’t whiten with bleach (the same as veneers and crowns). We recommend that you bleach your teeth before starting the bonding process.
