What are Composite Resin Bonding
Composite resin bonding is a process where a tooth-coloured resin is bonded onto the tooth’s surface. It's then sculpted and polished to address concerns like chips, minor gaps, or discolouration. While this can provide a significant cosmetic enhancement, it's important to remember that individual results will vary.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is composite resin bonding and how does it enhance your smile?
At Oakstone Dental we use composite resin, a durable plastic material that matches the colour of your natural teeth. We apply it to the tooth surface, sculpt it into the desired shape, harden it and polish it. Small changes to shape or colour can make a significant difference to your smile.
Can you build up the front of a tooth with composite resin bonding?
Absolutely. We can apply a full new coating to the front of selected teeth. This can correct uneven edges and restore symmetry. The sculpted resin is then polished to blend in naturally.
How natural will the final result look?
Composite resin is carefully colour matched to your natural tooth and polished to a smooth finish. The result looks authentic and subtle, giving you a seamless ging in shape and tone.
