Composite bonding in Kingston
Composite bonding improves the shape, colour and overall appearance of teeth, using the same resin material used for white fillings.
What is composite bonding?
Composite bonding is an increasingly popular cosmetic dental treatment that is used to improve the shape, colour and overall appearance of patients’ teeth. It is most frequently used on the front teeth, those that show when you smile.
Composite bonding can be used for disguising minor imperfections in the front teeth, closing small gaps and hiding minor tooth rotations. Although it does not last as long as veneers, many patients find the treatment is highly cost-effective.

What to expect
- 01
Shade match
Your dentist picks a shade of resin that matches the natural colour of your teeth.
- 02
Applying the resin
The resin is carefully applied to your teeth, with no need for any work or damage to them.
- 03
Shaping
Your dentist then carefully shapes and smooths the resin to hide any imperfections, for a result that looks entirely natural.
- 04
Hardening
Once the resin has been shaped, it is hardened very quickly with the help of a special light.
Can bonding be repeated?
Composite bonding can be repeated with no damage at all to your teeth. It is important to maintain good oral hygiene practices and avoid habits such as smoking or excessive alcohol consumption to help your bonding last.
Common questions
Composite bonding is a relatively pain-free dental procedure. You may experience some sensitivity or discomfort after the procedure, which is usually temporary.
