How long does composite bonding last?

Composite resin is durable but more porous than porcelain. With good care, results typically last several years before requiring a professional polish or touch-up.

How does composite bonding compare to veneers?

Bonding is for minor refinements in a single visit. Porcelain veneers offer superior durability, stain resistance, and a greater degree of customization for total smile transformations.

Does composite bonding stain?

Yes, composite resin can stain from coffee, tea, or red wine. We recommend regular professional dental cleans and good oral hygiene to maintain the brightness of the bonded area.

Is composite bonding similar to a dental filling?

The procedure is very similar to receiving a standard dental filling. We use the same high-quality composite resin, which is artfully sculpted and polished to blend naturally with your tooth.

What is composite bonding?

Composite bonding is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment where colour-matched, composite resin is bonded to targeted edges and surfaces of your teeth.

This procedure can provide minor enhancements to a tooth’s shape or size.

Why choose composite bonding?

Composite bonding is a conservative and cost-effective option for fine-tuning the appearance of your smile.

Best of all, treatment can be completed at our West End and Ascot dental clinics in just a single visit, unlike more complex cosmetic procedures.

At le tooth, many patients choose composite bonding to smooth over uneven areas, conceal small chips, and even extend the length of a shorter tooth.

For more extensive enhancements, our Brisbane dentists recommend porcelain veneers and crowns, which offer superior cosmetic results and longevity.

What does treatment involve?

Composite bonding is remarkably straightfoward and mirrors the experience of receiving a standard dental filling.

Since the same high-quality composite resin material is used, the process involves preparing the tooth surface with an acid-etch, applying the resin, and curing it with a specialised light.

Our dentists in West End and Ascot then artfully sculpt and polish the resin to ensure it blends in naturally with your smile.
