Everyone can be suitable for composite bonding. It is important that there is no dental disease and oral hygiene is maintained to an excellent standard. Bonding can be one of many options available depending on your concerns.
The Procedure:

2. The tooth is prepared by different washes and product applications.
3. A resin od desired shade is applied in layers and set with a curing light.
4. To achieve a final finish the bonding is shaped and polished.
Composite bonding can take 30-60 minutes per tooth. The bonding material is hardened instantly with a curing light, allowing you to walk out with your new smile!
