Composite bonding, otherwise known as cosmetic bonding, involves the use of aesthetic tooth-coloured filling materials, in an artistic way, to change the shape, length and/or colour of teeth. It is a great treatment to hide imperfections. Cosmetic bonding can repair broken teeth, close gaps between them, restore worn teeth and sometimes reduce their crooked appearance. This is quite often a completely non-invasive procedure which can result in a significant difference to your smile.
PROS OF COMPOSITE BONDING
Composite bonding is a non-invasive, pain-free procedure that often does not require any drilling or injections. It usually requires one or a maximum of two appointments to complete, depending on the number of teeth you wish to restore.
CONS OF COMPOSITE BONDING
Composite bonding does require long-term maintenance, just like how your car requires a regular service. If you have this treatment done on your teeth then you may need to have the composites polished regularly by your dentist to remove potential stains and refresh their appearance.
Furthermore, depending on your personal habits and the way you chew, composite bonding can sometimes chip and may need to be repaired as a consequence.
