Composite Bonding Oxford

This modern cosmetic dental treatment allows you to address minor imperfections without the need for more extensive treatment like veneers or crowns. The composite resin is the same material used for white fillings, and is highly effective for concealing issues like cracks, chips, asymmetries, small gaps and discolouration. We start by colour matching the resin to your teeth, and then gently etch the surface of the tooth to create better adhesion. Resin is applied directly to the tooth, shaped and cured with UV light. We then apply the finishing touches so that your new smile fills you with confidence. It’s the perfect choice for those with small imperfections they would like to address.

Composite bonding often refers to treatment on a single tooth, similar to a crown treatment. We can also replicate the veneer treatment plan using composite resin, which allows us to focus on the teeth that are visible when you smile. Composite veneers are much more cost effective than porcelain veneers. It’s also a much faster treatment plan when you opt for a composite restoration. It’s important to be aware of the visual qualities of the materials, as porcelain offers a very natural look with a slight translucence that mimics the enamel of natural teeth, while composite resin can look slightly more opaque and flat. Both provide beautiful restorations that can address the alignment, colour and shape of your teeth.
