What Is Composite Bonding?

What Is Composite Bonding?

Composite bonding is a popular cosmetic dental procedure that improves tooth formation. It involves applying a tooth-coloured resin material to the teeth to correct various dental issues. This procedure is highly considered for its effectiveness. Composite resin can stain over time, so it’s a good idea to limit the consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, and other staining substances. Composite bonding can be used to address a wide range of dental concerns, including:

Repairing Chipped Or Cracked Teeth

Bonding can effectively repair minor chips and cracks, restoring the tooth’s appearance and function. When you consult with a dentist, they may also take X-rays or impressions of your teeth to plan the procedure accurately.

Closing Gaps Between Teeth

For individuals with small gaps between their teeth, bonding can be used to fill these spaces and create a more uniform smile. Composite bonding can usually be completed in a single dental visit, making it a time-efficient option.

Improving Tooth Colour

Composite bonding can be used to cover discoloured teeth or to brighten a smile without the need for extensive whitening treatments. The composite resin material is designed to imitate the appearance of natural teeth, providing a seamless and natural-looking result.

Reshaping Teeth

If a tooth is oddly shaped or shorter than the others, bonding can be used to reshape it for a more harmonious appearance.

Protecting Exposed Roots

In cases where gum recession has exposed the roots of teeth, composite bonding can be used to cover and protect these areas.
