Cosmetic Dentistry
Same-day, drill-free artistry that repairs chips and refines edges without touching healthy enamel.
Overview
Composite bonding sculpts tooth-colored resin directly onto your teeth — no drilling, no anaesthetic in most cases, and no waiting for a laboratory. It is the most conservative way to refine a smile, completed in a single sitting.
Patients with small chips, gaps, uneven edges or worn front teeth who want an immediate, minimally invasive improvement.
Please note: Treatment suitability must be confirmed by a qualified dentist at an in-person clinical assessment. This website is for general information only and does not replace professional dental advice. Treatment suitability can only be confirmed after an in-person clinical assessment, and results vary between patients.
Step by Step
01
We agree exactly what to refine — often with a quick mock-up.
02
The enamel is cleaned and conditioned; no drilling is needed.
03
Composite is built up in fine layers, shaped and characterized to match neighboring teeth.
04
A final polish gives the surface the light reflection of natural enamel.
Expected timeline: One appointment. Larger cases across several teeth may be split over two visits.
