What Is Composite Bonding?

Composite bonding is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves applying a tooth-coloured resin to the surface of your teeth. The material is artistically shaped and polished by your dentist to improve the look of your smile, without the need for drilling, injections, or permanent changes to your natural teeth.

What Can Composite Bonding Fix?

Chipped or worn-down teeth
Gaps between teeth
Uneven edges or misshapen teeth
