Composite bonding is one of the quickest, most affordable ways to improve a smile. Tooth-coloured resin is shaped onto the tooth to fix chips, gaps and minor flaws, usually in a single visit.
Composite bonding applies a tooth-coloured resin to repair chips, close small gaps, reshape teeth or cover stains. It is done in one visit, needs little or no tooth removal, and is more affordable than veneers. With good care it lasts around 5 to 8 years before it may need a refresh.
What bonding can fix
- Small chips and worn edges.
- Minor gaps between teeth.
- Stains that will not whiten.
- Slightly misshapen or short teeth.
The process
The tooth is lightly prepared, resin is layered and sculpted to match your teeth, then hardened with a light and polished. It is painless and usually needs no anaesthesia.
Bonding vs veneers
Bonding is cheaper, faster and reversible, but veneers last longer and resist stains better. See our veneers comparison.
