Looking for a way to enhance your smile? Composite bonding and edge bonding are two popular cosmetic dentistry techniques that offer a quick and effective solution for various dental concerns.
Composite bonding is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that utilises a tooth-coloured resin material to restore or reshape teeth. Our skilled dentists add the composite resin in layers, sculpt it to the desired shape, and then harden it with a special light. This versatile technique can address a variety of issues, including:
Edge bonding is a specific type of composite bonding that focuses solely on the edges of the teeth. It's ideal for addressing minor chips, cracks, or uneven edges that detract from your smile's aesthetics. Additionally, edge bonding can be used to slightly lengthen teeth or close small gaps between them.
Unlike procedures like veneers, composite bonding requires minimal to no removal of healthy tooth structure.
Compared to other cosmetic dentistry options, these procedures are generally more affordable.
Composite bonding and edge bonding can often be completed in a single appointment.
The composite resin can be precisely matched to your natural tooth colour, creating a seamless and aesthetically pleasing result.
Composite bonding can address a wide range of dental concerns, while edge bonding offers a targeted approach for minor imperfections.
Composite is invulnerable to bacteria and decay, but the natural tooth underneath isn’t. Great oral hygiene at home will keep your tooth lasting for as long as possible.
You may require maintenance on these restorations, particularly if you like to drink tea or coffee or enjoy other food and drinks that stain your teeth. This can easily be monitored at your regular check-ups.
Composite bonding and edge bonding offer a convenient and affordable way to achieve a brighter, more confident smile. If you're looking for a minimally invasive solution for minor cosmetic flaws, these procedures might be the perfect fit for you.

In most cases, these procedures are performed with minimal discomfort. However, we may recommend local anaesthesia for additional comfort, especially if you have any sensitivity.
With proper care, composite bonding and edge bonding can last for several years. However, factors like diet and oral hygiene habits can influence their longevity.
Maintain good oral hygiene practices like regular brushing and flossing to ensure the longevity of your bonding. It's also recommended to avoid staining foods and beverages and to see us for regular checkups and cleanings.
