Composite Bonding
Composite bonding is a great way of simply and painlessly changing the look of your teeth. If you have crooked teeth from childhood or chipped and worn teeth from grinding or trauma then composite bonding can change the position and replace the missing tooth structure.
It works by carefully bonding tooth composite filling material to the edges of the teeth. There is usually no need to drill and no injections are needed. Something we would all like to avoid.
Once bonded the filling is shaped to the desired look, finished and polished. The fillings are very durable and can always be repaired and re-polished.
Composite bonding is a more preferable option to more complex and destructive treatments such as veneers and crowns. It is much lower risk and results in much lower complications for the tooth. It is also much quicker and therefore cost effective.
