Composite Bonding in Durham
we offer composite bonding, a quick, minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that improves the appearance of chipped, worn, discoloured, or uneven teeth. With just one appointment, you can achieve a more even, symmetrical, and brighter smile without the need for drills or injections.
What Is Composite Bonding?
Composite bonding (also known as tooth bonding or cosmetic bonding) uses a tooth-coloured resin material that’s artistically applied to the teeth to repair imperfections or enhance their shape and colour.
Our dentists sculpt and polish the composite resin to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, creating a smooth and natural-looking finish. Patients often search for “composite bonding near me” or “cosmetic bonding Durham” for quick smile enhancements, and we are proud to offer this popular service locally.
Who Can Benefit from Composite Bonding
Chipped or Cracked Teeth
Composite bonding is ideal for repairing small chips or cracks, restoring the tooth’s natural shape and strength quickly and painlessly.
Gaps Between Teeth
Close minor spaces between teeth without braces. Bonding provides a seamless, natural-looking finish for a more uniform smile.
Uneven or Worn Edges
If your teeth look uneven or have worn edges, bonding can smooth and reshape them for a balanced, symmetrical appearance.
Stained or Discoloured Teeth
Bonding can mask stubborn stains that don’t respond to whitening treatments, instantly improving the colour and brightness of your smile.
Benefits of Composite Bonding
Minimally Invasive: Often requires no drilling or anaesthetic.
Quick Results: Most treatments are completed in a single visit.
Natural Appearance: Tooth-coloured resin matches the shade of your natural teeth.
Affordable Cosmetic Solution: Less expensive than veneers or crowns.
Reversible Treatment: Minimal or no removal of natural tooth structure.
Improved Confidence: Subtle changes can have a big impact on your smile’s appearance.
The Composite Bonding Procedure
Consultation & Smile Assessment: We discuss your goals and assess your suitability for bonding.
Shade Matching: The composite resin is carefully selected to match your natural tooth colour.
Tooth Preparation: The tooth surface is gently cleaned and etched for better bonding (usually no drilling).
Resin Application & Shaping: The dentist applies the composite resin in layers, sculpting it to the desired shape.
Curing & Polishing: A special light hardens the resin, and the tooth is polished to achieve a smooth, natural finish.
Final Check: We ensure the bite feels comfortable and the bonded tooth blends beautifully with the rest of your smile.
