A close counterpart of composite bonding, composite edge bonding involves adhering a resin layer exclusively to the edges of individual teeth.

What Is Composite Edge Bonding?

Like composite bonding, composite edge bonding is a cosmetic treatment that aims to improve how individual teeth sit side-by-side in your mouth. However, composite edge bonding is used only on the edges of each tooth, improving irregular, and worn tooth edges.

Having the edges of teeth re-shaped using this technique can give you a significantly more harmonious smile. This subtle yet transformative technique can improve smile symmetry, whilst reinforcing worn teeth in cases where tooth tissue has been lost.

FAQs

Which Do I Need: Composite Bonding Or Composite Edge Bonding?

Composite edge bonding is appropriate for low-pressure locations, such as the front teeth. Your dentist will analyze your bite, and let you know if your dentation will withstand using composite edge bonding for smile restoration. It is primarily to improve the shape of a tooth so that it appears naturally balanced and in proportion with neighbouring teeth. Minor tooth wear can also be addressed.

If you have more extensive wear, chips, gaps or tooth staining on individual teeth, composite bonding is likely to be more appropriate. This technique builds up more substantial composite resin layering onto your teeth.

What Are The Features Of Composite Bonding?

Here are some of the features our patients love most about composite edge bonding:

  • Needle-free.
  • Creates a balanced-looking smile.
  • Improves the shape of individual teeth.
  • Natural-looking results.
  • Can be completed in a single treatment session.
  • Can last for up to 10 years.
  • Drill and anaesthetic-free treatment (in the majority of cases).
  • Minimally-invasive.
  • No removal of natural tooth structure is needed (as with veneers).
  • Complements teeth whitening treatment (whitening must precede composite edge bonding).
