Composite bonding for minor imperfections with teeth
If any of your teeth have minor damage, misalignment or discolouration, cosmetic composite bonding could be an option, without the need for a more intensive dental procedure.
The experienced cosmetic dentists in Brisbane can usually treat teeth with composite bonding in a single visit, with no drilling, pain or injections.
About Swish Dental
What is composite bonding?
Cosmetic composite bonding involves applying a tooth-coloured composite resin to teeth surfaces to modify their shape or alignment or cover up blemishes. This procedure is fast and painless, and in most cases can be completed in a single visit to our dental clinic.
After treatment with composite bonding, your teeth will look naturally whiter, straighter or more even. It's important to follow your dentist 's advice to maintain your new smile.

What can cosmetic bonding fix?
Composite bonding is considered a cosmetic treatment, as it can improve aspects of your smile that you're not happy with, but it can also correct minor functional issues with teeth. This versatile treatment can be option for:
- covering stains or discolouration
- repairing minor chips or cracks
- straightening slightly crooked teeth
- closing minor gaps between teeth
- lengthening short teeth
- evening out teeth edges
Your dentist will examine your teeth and let you know whether composite bonding is an option for you. If you need more extensive correction, we may recommend composite veneers or another treatment.
How does composite bonding work?
During your consultation at Swish Dental, your dentist will explain what cosmetic bonding involves so you can decide whether it's right for you. This procedure is non-invasive and does not require anaesthesia.
First, we clean and prepare the tooth surface to help the bonding agent adhere and protect the surrounding teeth from contact. We then carefully apply a composite resin gel in layers to repair or modify the tooth. The resin is hardened using a UV light and sculpted and polished to its final appearance.
Composite bonding may be combined with other cosmetic procedures such as tooth contouring to achieve the results you want or included as part of a complete smile makeover.
Composite bonding FAQ
How long does composite bonding last?
Composite resin is weaker and more prone to stains than natural tooth enamel or porcelain restorations, but with good care, bonded teeth can usually last around 5 years before a repeat treatment is needed.
What's the difference between composite bonding and veneers?
Composite veneers cover a whole tooth or most of a tooth for more extensive correction, whereas composite bonding treats certain areas of the tooth.
Can I have composite bonding if I have sensitive teeth?
This treatment does not involve removing tooth enamel, so sensitivity should not be a concern. Bonding may even reduce tooth sensitivity by repairing damage and building up the tooth.
