Cosmetic Bonding

Composite resin or “white filling” can be used to enhance a smile without removing any enamel from the teeth. This is known as cosmetic bonding.

Cosmetic bonding can be used to replace parts of the tooth missing from either decay or trauma, it can straighten the appearance of the smile or it can be used to close gaps between teeth.

The composite material is bonded to the tooth surface using a unique adhesive system. As it is often not necessary to remove any enamel, using composite resin to enhance the smile is a great deal more conservative than placing porcelain veneers.

Cosmetic bonding is sometimes known as “composite bonding” or “resin veneers” and can be less financial investment than porcelain veneers.
