What is composite bonding?

Composite bonding is a dental procedure where a tooth-colored resin material is applied to teeth to improve their appearance. It can be used to repair chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth, close gaps between teeth, or change their shape. The resin is bonded to the tooth and then shaped and polished to blend naturally with the rest of the teeth. It's a minimally invasive and cost-effective way to enhance a smile.

Generally after 5-8 years the composite may need repolishing or replacing. Dependant on your diet and habits this deterioration may happen quicker.

Porcelain veneers/crowns can provide better longevity but requires removal of tooth tissue for these to be provided.
