Composite Bonding
Refine Your Smile with Gentle
PRECISE COMPOSITE BONDING
Enhancing the look of your teeth doesn't have to be complex, lengthy, or costly. Cosmetic bonding is one of the simplest procedures available, yet it delivers impressive outcomes.
If you have teeth that are a bit crooked, spaced apart, or chipped, we can address these concerns in just one appointment. The best part is that there's no drilling, no anesthesia necessary, and you can show off your new smile immediately.
The process is relatively simple - it involves expertly sculpting tooth-coloured filling (matched to your tooth shade) directly onto your tooth creating a natural-looking beautiful result. Often, you won’t even need anaesthetic because we’re not removing much (or any) tooth structure; it’s a one-visit process, and, after we’ve worked our magic, you’ll walk out with your smile instantly improved.
It can be used to fix chips, close gaps, correct minor crowding, or even reshape a tooth.
