Composite bonding can be used to effectively cover and correct chipped, worn, damaged or misshapen teeth, improving tooth shape and creating your ideal smile. The composite material can perfectly mimic tooth enamel, and can be colour matched to blend seamlessly into your smile.
Composite is built directly onto the edges of your tooth, needing no alterations to be made to your natural tooth at all. The treatment is quick, needing just one appointment to complete and achieve a beautifully natural looking smile.

Initially, we discuss how you want to improve your smile with composite bonding, before preparing for treatment. We clean and dry your tooth and add a special dental gel to the surface, to ensure the composite will bond properly.
We apply the composite material in layers, carefully and gradually building up the desired new tooth shape. The composite is colour matched to your natural tooth shade, or the shade of your choice if you’re looking for a whiter smile.
We harden the composite using a UV light before smoothing and beautifully polishing it so it looks just like a natural tooth.
