Curious about Direct Composite Bonding? This versatile cosmetic dental treatment offers a quick solution for chipped, discoloured or gapped teeth. At London Dental Specialists, our expert dentists apply tooth-coloured resin directly to your teeth, sculpting and polishing it to create a natural appearance. The procedure typically requires just one visit, making it more affordable than alternatives like veneers. While composite bonding lasts 3-10 years and may require occasional maintenance, it remains popular for its minimal tooth preparation and reversible nature. Many patients appreciate that the treatment preserves healthy tooth structure while delivering immediate aesthetic improvements. Below, we've answered the most common questions our patients ask about this transformative procedure.
Direct composite bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure where tooth-coloured resin material is applied directly to the tooth surface.
