Composite bonding is the perfect solution and most minimally invasive way to transform your smile in a single appointment. Each smile transformation starts with an in-depth discussion about your needs and desired results. Using the latest technology to design your new smile, our highly-skilled team at White Dental and Cosmetic Rooms can take a digital scan of your teeth alongside photos and videos to help you visualise your new smile before starting treatment.
Composite bonding involves hand sculpting tooth coloured composite resin material onto each tooth to give you a more even and uniform smile. It is a fantastic way to improve your smile’s symmetry and disguise any chips, cracks, gaps or discolouration. Composite bonding can be applied to the edges of your teeth, known as “composite edge bonding” or the whole surface of the tooth, referred to as “composite bonding veneers”.
