Composite Bonding

Bonding is a dental technique whereby a tooth coloured material is fixed to the existing tooth surface to create a bond. The bond material is typically a hardened plastic derivative and is designed to improve the tooth’s appearance by changing size, shape or covering surface fractures and defects so giving the appearance of straight teeth. It is a conservative and relatively simple way of altering the appearance of a tooth or teeth and is usually completed in a single visit.
