Composite Bonding
A same-day, tooth-coloured resin treatment that repairs chips, gaps and discolouration without cutting into healthy tooth structure.
What Is Composite Bonding?
Composite bonding uses a tooth-coloured resin, sculpted and hardened directly onto the tooth, to repair chips, close small gaps, reshape edges or mask discolouration — usually completed in a single visit.
Because little to no natural tooth is removed, bonding is one of the most conservative cosmetic options, and it can often be touched up or repaired later without starting over.
- Completed in a single visit, often without anaesthesia
- Minimal to no removal of natural tooth structure
- Repairs chips, gaps and discolouration effectively
- Cost-effective alternative to veneers for smaller fixes
- Shade-matched resin blends with surrounding teeth
Signs You May Need Composite Bonding
- A chipped or fractured front tooth
- A small gap between two teeth
- Minor discolouration on a single tooth
- You want a quick, affordable cosmetic fix

What Happens, Step by Step
Shade Selection
The resin shade is matched carefully to your natural tooth colour.
Surface Preparation
The tooth surface is lightly conditioned so the composite bonds securely.
Resin Application
The composite is applied in layers and sculpted to the desired shape.
Curing
Each layer is hardened using a curing light as it's built up.
Shaping & Polishing
The bonded tooth is finely shaped and polished to match the sheen of your natural teeth.
Common Questions About Composite Bonding
With good care, bonding typically lasts 4–8 years before it may need touching up or replacing.
Composite resin can pick up staining over time from tea, coffee or tobacco, so good oral hygiene helps it stay looking its best.
Since little to no natural tooth is removed, bonding is one of the more conservative options and can usually be adjusted or removed later.
Bonding is durable for everyday use but is generally less resistant to heavy biting forces than porcelain veneers or crowns.
