What is Composite Bonding?
Composite bonding is the process of applying tooth coloured filling material to the surface of the teeth to change the overall shape, size and colour of the tooth.
Composite edge bonding is where composite is added to the edges of the tooth to make them look more uniform and repair small chips or imperfections of the teeth
Situations where composite bonding is suitable:
- Chipped tooth
- Cracks
- Stains
- General Wear
- To improve aesthetic appearance of teeth or smile
The main benefits are:
- No needles / Injections
- No drilling of natural tooth structure
- Same day result
Why Does the cost of composite bonding vary so much?
The rising demand for composite bonding has led to an increase in cases needing to be re-done, especially when cheaper options are chosen without considering potential trade-offs.
If the price is significantly cheaper, you should bear in mind that some compromise will have been made somewhere along the line.
Composite bonding is a popular dental treatment that requires careful planning and precision, which may not be the best choice for every patient.
It involves a thorough evaluation of factors like tooth size, shape, facial appearance, overall oral look, tooth colour, bite alignment, speech patterns, and more when considering composite bonding.

Zygomatic Implants and Bone Grafting
If you’ve gone too long without your natural teeth, you may have been told by dental experts that your jawbone can no longer support implants.
That’s because our jawbone density is compromised a little more every day we spend without teeth.
If low jawbone density has led to you being refused treatment elsewhere, Dr Janak can help. His team provides sinus lifts and bone grafting to help implants take root in depleted bone. They can also offer hope with zygomatic implants secured deep in the cheekbone for patients with low bone density.
