Composite bonding.

Composite bonding enhances the shape, colour and size of teeth, usually without drilling or injections, and often in a single visit.

Overview

Overview

Chipped, uneven or misshapen teeth can affect your confidence. Composite bonding involves applying tooth-coloured material to the surface of the tooth, refining its shape, size and colour.

Edge bonding adds composite to the edges of the teeth, creating a more even look and repairing small chips or imperfections.

Common questions

Common questions

How long does composite bonding last?

With good care, composite bonding typically lasts several years. Regular check-ups and hygiene visits help it stay in good condition, and it can be repaired or refreshed when needed.

Is composite bonding reversible?

Because bonding usually requires little or no removal of natural tooth structure, it is generally considered a minimally invasive and conservative option.

What is the difference between edge and full bonding?

Edge bonding adds composite to the edges of the teeth to repair small chips or even them out. Full bonding covers the visible front surface to change shape and colour more significantly.
