Composite Bonding
What is Composite Bonding?
Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental treatment that involves the application of a tooth-coloured composite resin material to the teeth. It is a non-invasive and relatively quick procedure that can address various aesthetic concerns, such as chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth, gaps between teeth, and minor tooth misalignments.
Composite bonding is a versatile and cost-effective treatment option, providing immediate results with minimal tooth preparation. It is a conservative approach as it requires only minimal removal of the tooth enamel compared to other restorative treatments. The composite resin material is also durable, stain-resistant, and can be repaired or touched up if needed.
