Cosmetic Dentistry · St Albans
Composite bonding is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments offered by our dentist in St Albans — it's quick, conservative, and can completely transform your smile in a single visit, usually with no need for drilling or anaesthetic.
For larger changes, or if you'd like to lighten the overall colour, we may recommend combining bonding with whitening or veneers — your dentist will help you choose what's right for you.
We carefully shade-match a tooth-coloured composite resin to your enamel, then sculpt it directly onto your tooth — building up the shape exactly as planned. The composite is hardened with a special light, then polished to a high gloss. The result is a beautifully natural look, all in a single visit at our St Albans clinic.
As a non-invasive procedure, cosmetic bonding is notably frill-free. You may experience a little numbness immediately following treatment, but this should pass in a few hours.
Composite is more porous than porcelain, so it can pick up some staining over time from coffee, tea, red wine and smoking. Regular hygienist visits keep it looking fresh.
