What Is Composite Bonding?
Composite Bonding is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that uses tooth-coloured composite resin to improve the appearance of teeth. The resin is carefully applied, sculpted, and polished to enhance the tooth’s shape, size, or colour. It is often used to repair chips, close small gaps, cover discoloration, or reshape uneven teeth. Unlike dental veneers or crowns, Composite Bonding is minimally invasive and completely reversible, making it a quick and natural-looking option for smile enhancement.
How It Works
During Composite Bonding procedure, the tooth surface is first cleaned and slightly roughened to help the bonding material adhere properly. A conditioning liquid is applied, followed by a soft, tooth-coloured composite resin. The dentist shapes and smooths the resin to match the natural contour of the tooth, then hardens it using a special curing light. Once hardened, the bonded area is polished for a smooth and natural finish. The procedure is performed chairside without the need for a dental laboratory, typically taking 30 to 60 minutes per tooth.
