Patient Results




Composite Bonding
Composite bonding is one of the easiest ways to solve different dental problems including chipped or cracked teeth, decaying teeth, discoloured teeth, spaces between teeth, or restoring lost teeth structure.
Composite bonding is a cosmetic technique wherein a type of dental material – in this case, composite resin – is shaped and molded on your teeth to give the appearance of straighter, whiter smile. It can be used as a cosmetic solution to chipped teeth, gapped teeth and staining in both teeth and fillings.
What are the advantages of composite bonding?
No need for anaesthetic injections.
Cheaper than other cosmetic dental treatments.
Short procedure – can be done in 30 to 60 minutes or a single dental session
Natural-looking treatment ensures the perfect cosmetic appearance..
A durable process that lasts for approximately five to seven years.
Lesser removal of tooth enamel as compared to crowns and veneers.
White Fillings
White or “composite” fillings allow the tooth to be filled or rebuilt with amazing cosmetic results. Composite material contains no mercury and can be matched to the exact shade and texture of your natural tooth. They are an excellent way to return a tooth to its original colour and shape. As less composite material is required to restore a filling, more of the natural tooth is preserved.
Composite can also be used to repair chipped or broken teeth with outstanding results. Your existing amalgam fillings can be removed and replaced with composite, giving you a sparkling smile again!
Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and onlays are fillings that are created in the laboratory and then cemented to the tooth. These can be matched to the exact colour and texture of your tooth and cannot be distinguished from your natural tooth when fitted.
As traditional silver (amalgam) fillings contain mercury they have a tendency to fracture the tooth, as mercury expands and contracts with hot and cold. In most cases, over time, these fillings will eventually need to be replaced. Porcelain inlays or onlays are ideal in this situation as they hold the tooth together better, and can return the original strength to your tooth, making them ideal for molars or larger cavities. Inlays can be created in either porcelain or gold.
