Composite bonding
Tooth-coloured composite sculpted directly onto your teeth to repair chips, close gaps and refine shape, usually in one visit and with little or no drilling.
- Visits
- 1 to 2
- Typical lifespan
- 5 to 7 years
- Reversible
- Largely, when no enamel is removed
[ often suits ]
- Chipped or worn edges
- Small gaps between front teeth
- Uneven lengths and shapes
- Refining your smile after aligners
[ worth knowing ]
Composite can stain and chip more readily than porcelain and needs polishing and occasional repair. Because enamel is usually left intact, it can be added to or reshaped later.
[ how it goes ]
Photographs and a plan at your consult. Shade matching and layered placement in one appointment, then a polish and review two to four weeks later.
All dental procedures carry risks, which are discussed with you before treatment. Suitability is confirmed at an in-person examination, and individual results vary.
