What Can Dental Bonding Help With?

Dental bonding is useful if you are experiencing a minor issue with one or several of your teeth, such as minor cracks, chips, gaps or discolouration. Bonding does not alter the structure of your teeth, but merely “fills in” where needed. Composite bonding in Castlebar is a very popular treatment for patients who wish to aesthetically improve their smile.

The Difference Between Composite Bonding And Veneers

Usually, composite bonding only partially covers the tooth, whereas composite veneers cover the entire outer tooth surface.

Composite Bonding Frequently Asked Questions

Composite bonding normally lasts for many years.

Similar to crowns or veneers, composite bonding cannot be whitened. For this reason, it is advised that you undergo whitening treatment prior to composite bonding so that you can match your bonding to your new desired tooth shade.
