Composite is a type of dental material that comes in many colours and translucencies and can be customized to match the shade, texture, and translucency of your natural teeth. Composite bonding can be a fast (usually only requires 1 visit) and minimally invasive option to create dramatic improvements in the appearance of your smile.
Composite bonding may be an option to consider:
-
To repair and restore the appearance and shape of decayed teeth
-
To repair chipped or cracked teeth
-
To improve the appearance of discolored teeth
-
To close spaces between teeth
-
To make the teeth look longer
-
To change the shape of teeth
-
As a cosmetic alternative to silver (amalgam) fillings
-
To protect a portion of the tooth’s root that has been exposed when the gum recedes
-
To protect the tooth when the enamel has worn down due to wear from tooth grinding or excess acid exposure
