Composite bonding is a modern way to restore teeth, either for cosmetic reasons, or to build up tooth structure that has been lost. It involves bonding a tooth coloured resin material to existing teeth to reshape them or improve their colour. It uses the same resin material used for white fillings, and is most frequently used on the front teeth – those that show when you smile.

Composite bonding is a cosmetic treatment and a pain-free experience that requires, in most cases, just one visit to the practice. Your dentist will be able to choose a shade of resin that closely matches the colour of your teeth, meaning that the results will look entirely natural, without the dentist to remove any part of your tooth usually.
