The bonding procedure
Our Cornwall dentist mixes composite resin into a paste tinted to match your tooth colour. Several layers are applied, each hardened under a UV light. The final steps shape and polish the resin so the finished tooth looks natural and smooth.
A conservative option for all ages
Bonding can build up worn teeth to make them appear younger, and it’s an option for all ages — including children, since the resin can be replaced as teeth grow. For a more durable or stain-resistant option, compare porcelain veneers.

Bonding or veneers — which is right for me?
