Cosmetic bonding, also called composite bonding, is an important aspect of biomimetic dentistry. It is conservative technique that utilises strong bonds. These strong dental bonds help restore your teeth to their most natural state, while preserving as much of your tooth as possible.

It involves repairing and reshaping teeth using a resin, tooth coloured composite material. This material is skilfully shaped, sculpted, and bonded to your teeth. It is a popular alternative to veneers and other more invasive treatments. One of the reasons that many people prefer cosmetic bonding to veneers, is because it usually doesn’t require as much of your tooth to be cut down in preparation. It is an additive rather than subtractive method of enhancing aesthetics and function.

Cosmetic bonding mainly involves the front teeth.

• Lengthen and straighten uneven teeth
• Fix chipped teeth
