IMPROVING YOUR TEETH'S AESTHETICS
Composite Bonding
Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure done to improve the appearance and oral health. It uses a high-quality, aesthetic, tooth-coloured filling resin bonding material (called a composite resin or composite material).
It is a painless and minimally invasive procedure, with no local anaesthetic or removal of significant tooth substance needed.

What is Composite Bonding?
Composite bonding is a procedure which involves adapting and binding an initially moldable composite onto the surface of the tooth and then setting it firmly in place.
Comparing Composite Bonding and Porcelain Veneers
Quicker Procedure
Composite veneers are quicker as they can be done chairside in a single visit. Your dentist will match the resin to the shade of your surrounding teeth to resemble your natural teeth. The resin is added to your teeth, cured and then polished.
Porcelain veneers take up to two visits as the dentist will remove a thin layer of your teeth. He will then take an impression of your teeth and will send the mould out to the lab to be fabricated. During this time, you will need to wear temporary veneers until your porcelain veneers are ready to be bonded to your teeth in the next visit.
Time
Composite veneers typically last 4-8 years. while porcelain veneers should last 10-15 years with proper care.
Prevent Damages
Prevents further bone loss and gum recession, by stimualting growth and development of the jawbone. Once the implant is placed, it functions as a natural tooth root, allowing the jawbone to grow well.

- Slightly worn down;

- Discoloured (and tooth whitening has not been opted for);
Too spaced out between each other (and want to close the small gaps without having orthodontic teeth straightening)
