Treatments / Cosmetic dentistry / Bonding
Composite bonding.
Composite bonding can be carried out with just one visit to the dentist since it is a straightforward cosmetic procedure, and your teeth remain comfortable immediately after.
The treatment process
Matched, shaped and set with light, in one sitting.
Your dentist selects a bonding material matched to your teeth, gently roughens the surface, applies the resin and hardens it with UV light, shaping it for a natural appearance.

Skip the stainers
