Composite bonding, also known as dental bonding, is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves the application of a tooth-coloured composite material to repair or enhance the aesthetics of a tooth. It’s a non-invasive and cost-effective way to address various dental issues.
We understand the significance of a flawless smile.
Composite bonding is a versatile and minimally invasive cosmetic dental procedure that can enhance the appearance of your teeth and boost your confidence. Our skilled team of dentists is dedicated to providing you with the highest quality composite bonding treatment, ensuring you achieve a stunning and natural-looking smile.
The Composite Bonding Procedure
The process of composite bonding typically involves the following steps:
- Consultation: During your initial visit, our skilled dentists will assess your oral health, discuss your specific concerns and goals, and create a personalised bonding treatment plan.
- Shade Matching: We’ll select a composite resin that matches the shade of your natural teeth for a seamless blend. Sometimes, teeth whitening is required to achieve the desired shade.
- Preparation: Minimal preparation of the tooth’s surface may be required. This may be with a sandblaster. Anaesthesia is generally not necessary unless the bonding is used to fill a cavity.
- Bonding: The composite resin is applied and carefully shaped to the tooth. It is then hardened using a special light.
- Finishing: The bonded tooth is finely shaped and polished to ensure a natural look and a smooth texture.

Aftercare and Maintenance**
Maintaining good oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, is essential to preserve the results of your composite bonding. While the composite material is stain-resistant, avoiding staining foods and beverages can help keep your smile looking its best.
We recommend getting composite polishing every 12 months to keep your teeth looking fresh.
