Compiste Bonding Cuffley
Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure used to improve the appearance of teeth by applying a tooth-colored resin material. This resin is carefully sculpted and hardened with a special light, bonding it to the tooth to restore or enhance its shape, color, or size. It is commonly used to repair chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth, close gaps, or make teeth appear longer. The process is relatively quick, minimally invasive, and typically completed in a single dental visit, making it a popular choice for patients seeking immediate results.
One of the main advantages of composite bonding is its affordability and versatility compared to other cosmetic procedures like veneers or crowns. While the results may not last as long as more permanent solutions, proper care—such as good oral hygiene, avoiding hard foods, and regular dental checkups—can help extend the life of the bonding. Additionally, since little to no enamel is removed, the procedure preserves the natural tooth structure, making it a conservative and reversible option for enhancing a smile.
