Composite Bonding
Small Changes to Your Smile Could Make a Big Difference
Enhancing Your Natural Smile
If you are looking for a minimally invasive way to improve your smile, then composite bonding might be the answer you’ve been looking for. Composite bonding is a popular treatment here at one80 Dental in Sheffield. It is a tooth-coloured filling material that can be applied to a tooth (or several teeth) to close gaps, improve proportions or even redesign a whole smile. It can also be used to fix chipped teeth, fractures and cracks, as well as helping to deal with more aesthetic concerns around the appearance of discoloured, shortened, or misshapen teeth. Also referred to as cosmetic bonding or tooth bonding this affordable cosmetic treatment is appropriate for adult patients of any age with good dental health.
Affordable and Long-Lasting
Composite bonding is an affordable option and less invasive than treatments like dental crowns or veneers. Your dental bonding journey begins with an initial examination of your smile where your individual requirements and any concerns or problems can be discussed before any treatment is started.

The Composite Bonding Treatment Process
We start by choosing a composite resin colour that matches your tooth, so that it looks natural. We’ll then build up the resin, layer by layer, until we achieve your desired result. This is usually done in one appointment. This treatment is also ideal following a tooth whitening procedure, so that the composite material can be matched to the brighter and whiter shade of the natural teeth. We also often recommend composite bonding after orthodontic treatment as it is an excellent way of dealing with any gaps or discolouration created because of tooth movement.
Composite Bonding FAQs
Can composite bonding close gaps in my front teeth?
Composite bonding is used to close small gaps between teeth. If the gap is too big, we may recommend orthodontic treatment before tooth bonding. The two treatments can complement each other very well.
Is composite bonding safe?
Composite bonding is an effective, safe and non-invasive way to enhance your smile.
How long does composite bonding last?
Composite resin isn’t as strong as your natural teeth, so it can chip or crack. However, it is durable and easily repairable. With proper care, composite bonding can last for an average of five years.
