A page is now dedicated to composite bonding, which corrects a localised defect in one session.
Bonding means shaping an aesthetic composite directly onto the tooth, in the mouth, to correct a chipped edge, a gap between two teeth, a tooth that is too short or a slight asymmetry. The material is applied in layers, working with shades and translucency, then polished.
As a rule the tooth is not cut: the composite is bonded to the enamel. This is what makes the treatment conservative and, in most cases, able to be redone or touched up later without redoing all the work.
It is often the last step after aligner treatment: once the teeth are aligned, a worn edge or a tooth shorter than its neighbour sometimes remains, and a few composite touch-ups are enough to even it out.
The cost depends on the number of teeth and the time required. A detailed quote is given at the consultation, before starting.
