Composite Bonding at Baudelaire Dental Clinic
What is Composite Bonding?
Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental technique where a tooth-coloured resin is artistically applied and sculpted onto the teeth. This material enhances the tooth’s shape, size, and colour, offering a natural and refreshed appearance. It requires no drilling or injections and can often be completed in a single appointment, giving you a beautiful, natural-looking smile in just one day.
What is Composite Edge Bonding?
Composite edge bonding specifically focuses on refining the edges of the teeth. This subtle enhancement corrects minor chips, evens out tooth length, and perfects overall symmetry for a more uniform and harmonious smile.
Ideal uses for Composite Bonding

Small chips from trauma or wear can easily be restored to their natural shape and colour
-
Seals and strengthens fine enamel cracks preventing them from spreading or causing further sensitivity & cosmetic issues.
-
Useful when teeth whitening doesn't fully remove stains cause by things like medication.
-
Composite bonding is a minimally invasive way to correct uneven teeth to make them look symmetrical and proportionate
-
Can transform the shape, colour and symmetry of your smile often in a single visit, without drilling or damaging enamel.
