LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR SMILE
Book an appointment Call 02920 883356For patients from Cardiff: Refine the shape of your smile with carefully applied tooth-coloured composite, planned around your teeth and the changes you would like to make. Appointments take place at our Caerphilly practice.
Address suitable chips, uneven edges or small gaps.
Composite is shaped and polished to complement your smile.
COMPOSITE BONDING
Composite bonding uses a tooth-coloured resin to make carefully considered changes to the appearance of suitable teeth. It can help improve small chips, uneven edges and some gaps.
We start by assessing your teeth and bite and discussing what you would like to change. Your dentist will explain whether bonding is appropriate or whether another approach would be more suitable.
The composite is applied, shaped, hardened with a special light and polished. The amount of preparation and the number of appointments depend on the treatment being planned.
