Bonding is a direct restoration with composite material, built up on the tooth layer by layer and cured with light. Matched precisely to the colour of your teeth, it blends in invisibly.
The method solves a wide range of aesthetic problems quickly and gently - in most cases you leave your very first appointment with your new smile already in place.
What bonding can correct
Composite build-up is suitable for:
- Broken or chipped teeth - restoring the biting edge
- Gappy teeth and closing a diastema (the gap between the front teeth)
- Slightly crooked teeth - a visual correction of the shape
- Discolouration that does not respond to whitening
- Decayed teeth - an aesthetic restoration after the decay is cleaned out
What happens during the visit
The tooth surface is carefully prepared, then the composite is applied and sculpted in thin layers. Each layer is cured with a special lamp, and finally the restoration is shaped and polished to a natural shine. In most cases not even an anaesthetic is needed.
The advantages of bonding
The reason so many patients choose bonding is its simplicity:
- No drilling - healthy tooth structure is fully preserved
- One visit - you arrive and leave with a new smile the same day
- Reversibility - the material can be adjusted or replaced at any time
- As gentle as it gets - usually no anaesthetic and no discomfort
