Cosmetic bonding is a procedure used to transform your smile.
It can be performed in a single visit and is completed by layering and sculpting a tooth coloured aesthetic resin material onto your teeth known as ‘composite resin’ which mimicks your tooth structure and improves the look of your smile by altering the shape, size and colour of your teeth.
This technique is minimally invasive and in most cases requires no removal of any healthy tooth structure.
Composite veneers are part of this family of treatments which are more cost effective alternatives than porcelain veneers.
A versatile treatment, cosmetic bonding can restore broken teeth, tackle gaps and deal with chips or worn edges. Some common areas where cosmetic bonding is used include:
- Replacing metal or amalgam fillings
- Repairing broken, chipped and worn teeth
- Closing gaps between teeth
- Reshaping teeth
- Masking tooth discolouration
- Smile makeovers
