Composite Bonding in Keynsham
Composite Bonding in Keynsham
Composite bonding is one of the quickest, kindest ways to improve the front teeth you see when you smile. Using a tooth-coloured resin, your dentist gently sculpts, shapes and polishes each tooth by hand for a natural-looking result.
There is no drilling and, in most cases, no anaesthetic, so it is an ideal first step into cosmetic dentistry for patients across Keynsham and the surrounding Keynsham villages.
What can composite bonding improve?
- Chipped, cracked or worn front teeth
- Small gaps between teeth
- Minor rotations or slightly uneven edges
- Discoloured or stained individual teeth
- Teeth that look short and you would like lengthened
- Finishing touches after Invisalign or whitening

Composite bonding cost in Keynsham

How to make composite bonding last longer
Keep it clean
Brush twice daily and clean between your teeth to prevent staining around the edges.
