composite bonding

Composite bonding is a term used to describe the use of composite filling, a resin-based filling material, being layered and sculpted over the front of a tooth surface to alter and improve the appearance of it.

Aesthetic Versatility

Composite comes in a range of tooth shades and can be selected to closely match your tooth. It can be used in small increments on the edges of front teeth to add length or change the shape or angulation of the tooth to improve the aesthetics.

Veneer-Like Coverage

Composite can also be used to fully cover the whole front surface of a tooth like a veneer. This can completely disguise the tooth underneath allowing the opportunity to recreate new shape, color, and contour to the tooth.
