Composite Bonding in Witney
Composite bonding is becoming increasingly popular as a simple and effective way to improve the appearance of your smile. It involves applying a tooth-coloured composite resin directly to the tooth, which is then shaped and polished to improve its size, shape, colour and overall appearance.
Composite bonding can be used to address chipped or worn teeth, small gaps, discolouration and uneven edges. The material is carefully colour-matched to your natural teeth to create a subtle, natural-looking result.
One of the main benefits of composite bonding is that it is minimally invasive, with little or no tooth preparation required in many cases. Treatment can often be completed in a single appointment, although suitability and the amount of preparation required will depend on your individual clinical assessment.
At Long Hanborough Dental Practice, our experienced dentists can assess your smile and discuss whether composite bonding is the right option for you.

How long does composite bonding last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, composite bonding can last several years. The longevity of your treatment will depend on factors such as your lifestyle, diet, and how well you care for your teeth.
Does composite bonding damage natural teeth?
Composite bonding is considered a minimally invasive treatment and usually requires little to no removal of healthy tooth structure. This helps preserve your natural teeth while enhancing their appearance.
Is composite bonding painful?
No, composite bonding is generally a comfortable procedure that does not require anaesthetic in most cases. The treatment is quick, gentle, and completed with minimal discomfort.
Can composite bonding be repaired if it becomes damaged?
Yes. If your composite bonding chips, cracks, or becomes worn over time, it can often be repaired or adjusted without needing to replace the entire restoration.
