Composite Bonding Randwick

Composite bonding is an extremely popular cosmetic dental treatment and is used to improve the shape, colour and overall appearance of patients’ teeth. It uses the same resin material used for white fillings, and is most frequently used on the front teeth, which are those that show when you smile.

There have been huge advances in the materials used in bonding dentistry in recent years, meaning composite bonding can be used for disguising minor imperfections in the front teeth, closing small gaps, and hiding minor tooth rotations.

Composite bonding is an experience that requires, in most cases, just one visit to the practice. Your dentist will be able to choose a shade of resin that closely matches the colour of your teeth, meaning that the results will look entirely natural.

This is how the treatment works:

You will choose with your dentist a shade of resin that matches the natural colour of your teeth. Whitening is usually done prior to bonding to ensure you are happy with the colour of your teeth
The resin is carefully applied to your teeth for the shape and design you would like
Your dentist then carefully shapes and smooths the resin to hide any imperfections, for a result that looks entirely natural
Once the resin has been shaped, it is hardened very quickly with the help of a special light

Although composite bonding treatment does not last for as long as porcelain veneers, the treatment is highly cost-effective and very quick. Many patients therefore choose to have it applied for a short period of a year or 2 before they are ready to commit to porcelain veneers. It can also be repeated multiple times by removing the existing bonding and placing new bonding.
