━ What bonding can improve
Refining what
is already there.
Composite is added directly to the tooth and sculpted by hand, then polished. It suits chipped corners, uneven edges, small gaps and teeth that look shorter than their neighbours.

━ Good to know
Realistic about bonding.
Bonding is versatile, but it has limits your dentist will be clear about.
Staining over time
Whitening first
Whitening is usually completed before bonding so the shade can be matched.
Grinding habits
Heavy clenching can chip bonding, so a night guard may be advised.
Not for every case
Where teeth need major change, veneers or crowns may be more appropriate.
Edge bonding
A smaller treatment that evens up worn or chipped tooth edges only.
Full bonding
Covering the visible surfaces of several teeth for a broader change.

━ Questions answered
Composite bonding FAQs.
Straightforward answers to the questions patients in Birmingham ask us most often.
Lifespan varies with the size of the bonding, your bite and habits. Composite may need polishing, repair or replacement over the years.
Bonding usually needs little or no removal of tooth structure, which is one of its main advantages. Your dentist will confirm what is required in your case.
Small gaps can often be closed or reduced. Larger spaces may be better addressed with aligners first, then bonding if needed.
Composite can pick up stain at the margins over time, particularly with coffee, tea, red wine or smoking. Polishing at hygiene visits helps.
