What is Composite Bonding?
Composite bonding, also referred to as teeth bonding or dental bonding, is a non-invasive cosmetic dental procedure that is used to fix a wide range of dental aesthetic issues. As part of the treatment, we apply a tooth-coloured resin in multiple layers and then form to the shape of your teeth. This resin is then hardened and polished to ensure a natural finish. This then repairs dental imperfections like chips and cracks, as well as stains and even sensitive root areas exposed by receading gums. For patients, this treatment means walking out of our dentist’s office with an improved smile without the time commitment and expense of braces, veneers or crowns.
The procedure is incredibly straightforward and totally non-invasive, and can be used to fix a variety of dental issues that occur frequently, no matter how well-maintained your oral hygiene may be.
Tackling Common Dental Issues with Composite Bonding
Tooth discolouration
The dentist bonds carefully matched tooth-coloured resin to create a new, natural-looking surface layer.
Chips and cracks
The resin is shaped and bonded into damaged areas, sealing the tooth and preventing further damage, all while restoring it to it’s original appearance.
Gaps and uneven teeth
By building up the sides or bottoms of your teeth with the resin, we’ll be able to use composite bonding to close gaps, build-up shorter teeth or reshape irregular ones. This results in a more uniform and balanced smile.
Sensitive roots
The multiple layers of resin act as a protective barrier that shields exposed roots, eliminating sensitivity while also improving appearance – it’s a win-win.
Stains from fillings
Old fillings which may have become stained or discolours will now be blended to have a more uniform and seamless look in-line with your natural tooth colour.
Enamel defects
A smooth layer of bonded resin fills and covers imperfections, and ensures proper tooth alignment without the need for braces.
What are the Benefits of Dental Bonding?
Minimally Invasive
The procedure is minimally invasive, requiring little to no enamel removal, which helps preserve the natural structure of your teeth.
Cost-Effective
A more affordable option compared to procedures like dental crowns or porcelain veneers, making it accessible to a broader range of patients.
Quick Results
In most cases, the process can be completed in a single dental visit and with minimal preparation, providing you with immediate improvements to your smile.
Natural Appearance
The composite resin used in bonding can be precisely colour-matched to your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking result.

A Completely Pain-Free Smile Correction Procedure
As we mentioned previously, our procedure for teeth bonding is non-invasive. This is great news for those of you who might be somewhat weary of scheduling an appointment with your dentist for fear of any pain or discomfort. Unlike treatments like dental veneers and crowns that require removing tooth structure, bonding typically doesn’t even require anaesthesia.
Most patients find the process completely comfortable, and since the entire treatment can be completed in just one visit to us here at Grosvenor Dental Practice, you’ll be free to eat, drink and return to your normal, daily life as soon as you leave our office.
