Composite Bonding and Composite Edge Bonding are two processes that use composite material to bond, reshape, rebuild, or fill damaged teeth. Bonding is a very simple cosmetic procedure, but it also has a huge amount of potential for different kinds of repairs.
For smaller repairs, Composite Edge Bonding can be used at the edges of the tooth, changing the shape but not covering the complete surface.

Veneers are made of porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front surface of the teeth. They can address similar cosmetic issues as composite bonding and require more tooth preparation, but are more expensive.
Combining composite bonding and teeth whitening can be a great way to achieve a brighter and more uniform smile. If you have discolored or stained teeth, whitening treatments can help remove surface stains and lighten the overall colour of your teeth.
By combining these two procedures, your dentist can first whiten your teeth to achieve a more uniform color, and then apply composite bonding to address any remaining cosmetic issues. This can result in a beautiful and natural-looking smile that enhances your overall appearance and boosts your confidence.
01
Your dentist will evaluate your teeth and discuss your goals to determine if composite bonding is the right option for you.
02
Your dentist will prepare your teeth by cleaning them and roughening the surface to create a better bond with the composite resin.
03
The composite resin material is applied to the teeth and molded to the desired shape.
04
A special light is used to harden the composite resin material, then the teeth are polished to give them a natural-looking finish.
Maintaining your smile after a smile makeover is important to ensure long-lasting results. Brush your teeth twice a day and floss daily to remove plaque and prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
Regular dental checkups and hygiene appointments are important for maintaining the health and appearance of your teeth and gums.
Composite bonding can last for several years with proper care. The lifespan of composite bonding will depend on several factors, including the location of the bonded tooth, the amount of wear and tear it receives, and the patient's oral hygiene habits.
Composite bonding is generally not painful, although some patients may experience mild sensitivity or discomfort during the procedure. Your dentist may use a local anesthetic to numb the area before the procedure.
The cost of composite bonding will depend on several factors, including the location of the bonded tooth, the complexity of the procedure, and the geographic location of the dental practice. In general, composite bonding is less expensive than other cosmetic dental treatments, such as veneers or crowns.
