Composite bonding (or cosmetic bonding) is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that involves the application of tooth-coloured composite resin to the teeth to improve their look.
Cosmetic bonding, as opposed to laboratory-made veneers, is performed by directly placing a composite resin substance to your actual teeth.
Bonding is a quick and easy approach to get the smile you want with only one visit. In most circumstances, there is no need to remove any of your natural tooth structures, and no injections or moulds are required.
Cosmetic bonding can be used to close gaps between teeth, change shapes, and cover or hide discoloured teeth caused by fluorosis or congenital abnormalities.
The procedure itself is pleasant and straightforward. Following the first visit with your dentist, you discussed your smile objectives and choose your preferred tooth colour.
A gentle chemical agent is used to prepare and roughen the natural tooth surface before applying a bonding agent. Your dentist will then apply the composite and delicately mould the material into an aesthetically attractive design before setting it using blue light and polishing it to a dazzling finish. You’re now ready to walk out the door with a stunning new smile.
Cosmetic bonding typically lasts 3-8 years, with good oral care and no destructive habits.
