Composite Resins are tooth-coloured materials that can be applied to the remaining surfaces of teeth. As the name indicates, a composite material, either a plastic or resin is bonded to an existing tooth. Achieving a flawless surface, repairing the look of the tooth and strengthening it in the process. Unlike veneers or crowns, composite bonding removes little, if any, of the original tooth. As with all restorations, composite bonds require proper care and regular cleaning. In order to ensure they last as long as possible, composites should be brushed and flossed daily. Some of the advantages of this treatment are that composite resins are tooth coloured and they can be applied directly to the teeth in a single appointment. Often used to improve the appearance of your teeth and enhance your smile.

 

 

Composite Bonding is a common solution for:

 

• Fixing or repairing chipped or cracked teeth

• Reducing unsightly gaps or spaces between teeth

• Hiding discolouration or faded areas on the tooth’s surface

 

 

Composite bonding has many advantages:

 

• It is a quick process which typically lasts less than one hour.

• It does not reduce the tooth’s original structure and is relatively inexpensive.

• Composite resins come in many different shades and provide better matching of shades to the natural colour of your teeth.
