What is Composite Bonding?
Composite bonding is the process of directly applying and shaping tooth-colored composite resin material onto the tooth. It is a minimally invasive method and is usually completed in a single session.
In Which Cases Is It Applied?
- Repair of broken or cracked teeth
- Closing small gaps between teeth
- Correcting discolored teeth
- Fixing shape and size irregularities
- Protecting the root surface in gum recession
Advantages
- Completed in a single session
- Does not require tooth reduction or involves very minimal reduction
- More economical compared to veneers
- It is a reversible treatment
Precautions
Composite bonding is more prone to staining compared to veneers and may need to be renewed every 5-7 years. Tea, coffee, and smoking accelerate discoloration. Avoid the habit of biting hard objects.
