Composite Bonding in Wentworth Point
Composite bonding is the process of using tooth-coloured composite material to make minor aesthetic improvements to teeth.
The composite material is shaped and bonded directly onto teeth, which can give a natural-looking aesthetic improvement in the hands of a skilled Dentist.
- Effective at repairing small defects
- Customisable in shape and colour
- More resistant to stains than natural teeth
- Reversible
- Great option for trialing a specific look before committing to porcelain

Crafting Your Smile
Composite bonding is suitable for you if you meet the following criteria:
Since composite is more resistant to staining than natural teeth, it's important to have a naturally white smile if you choose composite bonding.
If your natural teeth are prone to discoloration, the contrast between them and the composite material may become noticeable over time.
In such cases, full-coverage porcelain veneers may be a more suitable option for you.
Good oral health and a healthy bite is essential for the overall success of cosmetic procedures such as composite bonding.
If your oral health or bite is compromised, you may need to address these underlying issues before commencing composite bonding.
Bruxism is the disorder of teeth grinding which affects approximately 85-90% of people at some point in their lives.
Most sufferers of Bruxism are unaware of the habit as it usually occurs during sleep. However, we are able to diagnose it based on the condition of the mouth, masseter muscles, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
Severe bruxism is not compatible with composite veneers as the amount of force transmitted through grinding is too severe for composite to withstand.
In such cases, porcelain veneers with an occlusal splint worn at night may be a more suitable option for you. Porcelain veneers are the strongest form of veneers available, and are able to withstand Bruxism with the additional protection of an occlusal splint.
Composite bonding is a fantastic option for those with reasonably well shaped natural teeth looking to make subtle aesthetic enhancements. If you are after significant aesthetic improvements, porcelain veneers will give you the most natural, drastic and reliable results.
While composite bonding is a fantastic, minimally invasive option for enhancing the appearance of your teeth, it can require ongoing maintenance to keep it looking and functioning at its best. Due to its minimally invasive nature, composite bonding naturally has less surface area to adhere to compared to treatments like full-coverage porcelain veneers.
While we follow optimal bonding protocol, the bond does not always behave predictably due to the minimal surface area involved. As a result, occasional maintenance or touch-ups may be needed over time to keep the restoration looking and functioning at its best.
Therefore, composite bonding is a great option for those who frequent our clinic and are comfortable with a level of ongoing maintenance. If you are after more durable, one-and-done cosmetic dental work, porcelain veneers may be a more suitable option for you.
