Composite Bonding Guide
Composite bonding uses tooth-coloured resin to repair or reshape selected areas. A dentist can assess whether it suits the tooth, your goals and bite.
What to know
Bonding may be considered for selected chips, small gaps, uneven edges or colour concerns. It is not right for every tooth or goal; ask about alternatives and durability. The dentist shapes resin and hardens it to the tooth. Ask about preparation, shade, visits and realistic outcomes. Discuss stain risk, biting habits, maintenance or repair.
What to discuss before deciding
Match the approach to the concern
Ask whether bonding is being proposed to repair damage or change appearance, and what alternatives exist. The dentist can explain how the resin will be shaped and whether preparation is needed. Small cosmetic adjustments and larger structural repairs may call for different plans.
Discuss upkeep
Ask how staining, wear and chipping may affect the bonded area and whether polishing or repair may be needed. Avoid using teeth as tools and follow advice about biting hard objects. Contact the clinic if the bonded area feels rough, catches floss or changes.
