Composite bonding, which is also commonly known as dental bonding, is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to solve minor oral imperfections.
The process involves applying a tooth-coloured resin onto existing teeth to restore shape, colour, and structure.
The colour of the composite material is made to match the shade of your existing teeth, so it looks completely natural.
It is a quick and non-invasive procedure that helps you achieve your ideal smile.

Dental bonding is a popular corrective procedure that fixes the most common dental problems such as:
The composite material is also used as an alternative to amalgam or metallic fillings to help the smile look whiter and more natural.
This simple cosmetic procedure can be carried out in just one visit to the dentist, so it is a quick and efficient way to fix your minor dental issues.
There are many benefits to opting for composite bonding as a cosmetic treatment:
There aren’t any major risks to dental bonding.
Though bonding does not damage your teeth, it is important to bear in mind that composite materials are not as strong as your natural teeth, therefore can be prone to breaking or chipping.
Unlike other materials such as porcelain, the composite resin is not completely stain-resistant, so you may experience some discolouration over time if you smoke or drink a lot of coffee for example.
The cosmetic dental treatment you choose will depend on your individual preferences on the situation, along with the guidance of your dentist.
However, the general idea is that bonding is used to correct small issues in the mouth, whereas veneers work better for those patients needing more significant changes to this smile.
Veneers are very thin tooth-coloured porcelain shells that are custom-made to fit over the surface of your teeth to correct imperfections.
Much like composite bonding, they work to correct the colour, shape, size, structure, and alignment of the teeth.
Veneers tend to last longer than composite bonding as porcelain is much stronger and more durable than resin. If taken care of properly, veneers can last up to 20 years.
