You don’t need us to tell you how popular composite bonding is; otherwise, you wouldn’t have landed here. Chances are, you’re unhappy with the appearance of your smile, whether your teeth are too short, there are gaps in between your teeth, or you want to improve the overall colour. Composite bonding is the shortcut you need.
Using the same resin material used in composite veneers and even in white fillings, composite bonding is a fast, one-visit procedure that’s applied to your visible teeth to make them appear more even, straight and polished.
Composite bonding offers a pain-free experience, which in most cases requires no anaesthetic, drilling or injections and can be completed in just one visit with Dr Lavington.
During your consultation, we’ll select a resin shade that closely matches the colour of your existing teeth to help us keep the results as natural as possible.
This process is part of our broader digital smile design approach and techniques, where we use the latest 3D planning technology to simulate the final results before we hand-layer them onto your smile, so you can see what your new smile looks like before we begin.
Advances in materials mean it can be used to disguise minor (and even larger) imperfections, such as closing small gaps, whitening teeth, and hiding minor tooth rotations, all while leaving your underlying teeth intact. It’s suitable for patients of all ages and can treat several smile conditions (often all at once), such as:
The composite bonding procedure is shorter than veneers and can be completed in 30-90 minutes. It’s a completely reversible procedure that can be repeated without damaging your teeth, should you wish to change or refresh your smile later.
Composite bonding should last 5-7 years before showing signs of wear, but it can be easily renewed and refreshed to look as good as new. Regular dental appointments to polish them will also help the results last longer.
