Composite bonding, also called cosmetic bonding or direct bonding, is a popular cosmetic dental procedure used to enhance the appearance of teeth. It involves the application of a tooth-colored composite resin material to the teeth to correct imperfections such as chips, cracks, gaps, and discoloration. This is done without drilling or shaving the teeth.
One of the key advantages of composite bonding is its versatility. It can be used to address a wide range of cosmetic issues, and the color of the composite material can be customized to match the natural shade of your teeth. Additionally, composite bonding is a relatively quick and minimally invasive procedure compared to other aesthetic treatments such as veneers or crowns.
