Composite Bonding

Composite Bonding

Composite bonding is a type of cosmetic dentistry whereby we repair and restore the appearance of your natural teeth. We use composite bonding to correct minor damage and imperfections in your teeth. It is frequently combined with professional teeth whitening as an ideal way to correct imperfections and create the smile makeover you have always desired! 

GIVING YOU, YOUR CONFIDENCE BACK BY COMPOSITE BONDING

Patients usually love composite bonding treatments as they can get cosmetic improvements to their smile in a single sitting. The composite resin is applied and molded by our cosmetic dentist to match the colour of your teeth, creating a natural-looking result and transforming your smile immediately.

The treatment is quick and can be done in a single visit to the Dr. Renu Dental Clinic. Composite bonding is a painless and non-invasive procedure. We do not remove any part of the tooth. The tooth structure remains intact and will not be damaged. Composite bonding is a way to fix chips, cracks, or spaces between teeth. It can also be used to fix discoloration, giving you a new smile.
