Overview
How Does Composite Bonding Work?
Composite bonding is a common dental procedure that involves applying a tooth-colored composite resin to the surface of the teeth to enhance their appearance. During the procedure, your dentist will start by cleaning and etching your teeth to ensure proper adhesion of the resin. The composite resin will then be applied and molded to match the natural contours of your teeth. Once the resin is shaped, it will be cured with a special light, which will harden it and make it durable. If you’re looking to improve your smile, composite bonding may be the ideal solution for you.
