Cosmetic Bonding in Bursledon, Southampton
Composite bonding is a type of specialist cosmetic treatment that involves using tooth-coloured composite resin to reshape teeth. The treatment is often reversible as there is usually no need to drill the natural tooth, with the composite being bonded onto the tooth surface. It can be used as an alternative to veneers in certain cases.
Frequently asked questions about Composite Bonding
Your suitability for composite bonding will depend on many factors, such as the position and colour of your teeth, but also what you would like your final smile to look like. Generally your teeth will need to be in good condition with enough tooth enamel to bond the composite onto.
The composite resin used is designed specifically for this treatment and is very durable. However, it is still not as strong as porcelain and can chip and break. The longevity of your smile makeover will be determined to a large degree by how the teeth are looked after and any potentially destructive habits you may have. These will be identified to you by your Smilemakers dentist.

- Weaker than porcelain and more likely to chip as a result
