When exploring composite bonding, you will usually hear two main terms: Composite Edge Bonding and Composite Veneers. While both use high-quality tooth-coloured resin, they serve slightly different aesthetic goals.
Best for: Subtle tweaks, symmetry adjustments, and minor repairs.
Edge bonding focuses purely on the outer edges, tips, or corners of your teeth. The dentist applies the resin to specific targeted areas—like fixing a small chip, smoothing a jagged bite line, or closing a gap.
• Treatment time: ~30 to 45 minutes per tooth.
• Enamel impact: Zero alteration to original tooth structure.
Best for: Complete smile makeovers, severe discolouration, or reshaping multiple teeth.
Composite veneers cover the entire front surface of the tooth to reshape and brighten your visible smile line.
• Treatment time: Completed in a single 2-to-3-hour appointment.
• Enamel impact: Highly conservative with minimal to no surface preparation.
Pro Tip: Pair Bonding with Professional Teeth Whitening First!
Composite resin cannot be bleached once placed. If you want a brighter overall smile, undergo professional teeth whitening before your bonding appointment so we can match the resin to your lighter natural shade.
