Composite bonding is used to improve the appearance of your teeth and enhance your smile. As the name indicates, composite material, either a plastic or resin, is bonded to an existing tooth. Unlike veneers or crowns, composite bonding removes little, if any, of the original tooth.
Composite bonding has many advantages:
- Quick: composite bonding typically takes less than an hour to complete.
- Conservative: Bonding does not reduce the tooth's original structure, keeping more good tooth enamel intact.
- Frugal: Bonding is relatively inexpensive.
- Natural: Composite resins better match natural tooth shades.
