Composite Bonding
Composite bonding, also known as dental bonding, is a cosmetic dentistry procedure where a tooth-coloured resin material is applied and bonded to the teeth using adhesives and a high-intensity curing light. This technique is often used to improve the appearance of teeth by repairing chips, cracks, discolourations, or gaps.
It’s a relatively quick and cost-effective way to enhance the aesthetics of a smile without invasive procedures. However, composite bonding may not be as durable as alternatives like veneers and may require periodic maintenance or replacement.
Composite bonding is chosen for various reasons:
1. Cosmetic Enhancement: It’s an effective solution for improving the appearance of teeth, addressing issues like chips, gaps, and discolorations.
2. Minimally Invasive: Compared to other cosmetic dental procedures, composite bonding is less invasive, often requiring minimal tooth reduction.
3. Affordability: It is generally more cost-effective than alternatives like veneers or crowns, making it a budget-friendly option for cosmetic improvements.
4. Quick Procedure: The process is usually completed in one dental visit, providing immediate results and minimal disruption to the patient’s schedule.
5. Versatility: Composite resin can be precisely color-matched to the natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking result.
It’s essential to consult with us to determine if composite bonding is the most suitable option based on individual dental needs and preferences.
