Aesthetic fillings & bonding
Reshaping and colour correction with tooth-coloured composite
Chips, gaps and shade differences are corrected with tooth-coloured composite in a single appointment.
Bonding shapes tooth-coloured composite directly onto the tooth. With no laboratory stage it is completed in a single appointment.
An aesthetic filling uses the same composite to rebuild the part of the tooth lost to decay, once the decay has been removed, so that it matches the natural tooth.
For small chips, worn edges and narrow gaps it is a fast and reversible option.
Who is it for?
- Small chips and notches
- Narrow gaps between front teeth
- Anyone who prefers not to have teeth reduced
How the treatment works
- 01
Shade selection
The composite tone closest to the neighbouring teeth is selected.
- 02
Sculpting
Composite is applied in layers and shaped.
- 03
Polishing
The surface is polished to the sheen of natural enamel.
After your treatment
Composite picks up colour more readily than porcelain. Avoiding dark drinks for 48 hours helps the result last.
Frequently asked questions
How does it differ from a veneer?
Bonding is done in one visit and, in most cases, without reducing the tooth; a veneer lasts longer and resists staining better.
Can it be repaired?
Yes. A damaged area can usually be added to and repaired in the same visit.
