It involves the application of layers of tooth-coloured composite resin to the front of your teeth. The layers are carefully applied to achieve the desired contour of the tooth, and different shades of white are used to match the colour of your natural teeth. Once the composite has been shaped, a UV light is used to harden and set the material, which is then polished and the shape further refined. Composite bonding is a discreet treatment, matching the shade of your existing teeth for a natural-looking result. If a tooth is discoloured, this treatment can be used to bring it back to its natural colour.

Answer
Bearing in mind that good oral health and what you eat and drink are factors in the longevity of composite bonds, they usually last for about 5 years.
Answer
Though both treatments involve the application of a material to the teeth, they are different in some notable ways. Porcelain veneers are a great way to brighten your smile, covering the entire tooth in a layer of stain-resistant, highly durable porcelain. Composite bonding is matched to the colour of your natural teeth, and as such is not a whitening treatment. It can be used to fill a chip in a tooth, or to cover small areas of discolouration without being applied to the whole tooth.
Answer
It is minimally invasive and pain-free, requiring no anaesthetic. There is no drilling involved, as the material is simply bonded to your natural tooth and gently polished.
Answer
It is non-porous, and though it is possible for them to stain, they will do so more slowly than your natural teeth, which are porous. To safeguard against the possibility of staining, we recommend avoiding the over-consumption of drinks that stain your natural teeth, such as coffee or red wine. Keep up with brushing and flossing on a daily basis and book in with our dental hygienist for your regular visits.
