COMPOSITE BONDING
Composite Bonding at Bridge Street Dental
Restore imperfections and makeover your smile
Do you have chipped teeth, gaps, fractures, misshapen teeth, discoloration or any other minor dental imperfections that cause you concern and stop you from smiling with confidence? We can help. Composite bonding is a modern way to restore teeth, either for cosmetic reasons, or to build up tooth structure that has been lost.
Composite resin is used to shape and restore your teeth to an aesthetically and structurally sound state. The colour of the resin is matched to your teeth, so it will appear as though it is a natural part of the tooth.
Unlike crowns or veneers which require part of your tooth to be removed, for composite bonding to be applied the surface of the tooth only has to be roughened to help the resin to bond, meaning the structure of the tooth remains intact.
The composite is hardened using curing light as soon as it’s applied, resulting in a tooth that can comfortably bite down by the end of the appointment. Composite bonding can usually be carried out in just one visit to the dentist. It generally lasts more than 5 years before it needs to be polished or repaired in some way.
