Composite Bonding
Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental treatment that uses tooth-colored resin to repair chips, close gaps, improve shape, or enhance the overall appearance of teeth. The material is carefully matched to your natural tooth shade and applied directly to the tooth surface before being shaped and polished for a smooth, natural look. It’s a quick, minimally invasive procedure that usually requires no drilling or anesthesia, making it a popular choice for patients who want an affordable and effective way to improve their smile.
Benefits Of Composite Bonding
Improves Appearance Quickly: Enhances the shape, color, and overall look of teeth in just one visit.
Minimally Invasive: Requires little to no removal of natural tooth structure.
Natural Finish: The resin is color-matched to blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth.
Cost-Effective: More affordable than alternatives like veneers or crowns while still delivering great results.
