Veeners & Composite Bonding
Dental Veeners
Veneers are thin, semi-translucent "shells" typically attached to your front teeth. Veneers are customized from porcelain material and permanently bonded to your teeth. Veneers are a great alternative to otherwise painful dental procedures to improve the appearance of your smile.
Common problems that veneers are used for:
- Spaces between the teeth
- Broken or chipped teeth
- Unsightly, stained or discolored teeth
- Permanently stained or discolored teeth
- Crooked or misshapen teeth
Veneers are a great aesthetic solution to your smile that may even help you avoid orthodontic treatment. Subtle changes to your smile can be achieved with veneers, and in most cases, veneer application is completed in only two appointmets.
Please contact our Christchurch Dental Office if you have any further questions on veneers.
Composite Bonding
Composite Bonding is a dental technique which involves the application of a tooth colored resin called composite to fix the shape or color of your tooth. Composite bonding can easily repair chips, fractures, decay and discolored teeth.
Unlike porcelain veneers, which are manufactured in a laboratory an d require your dentist to remove a large amount of healthy tooth structure, composites can be applied in a single office visit with minimal tooth removal.
What are the Main Benefits of Composite Bonding?
- Composite bonding is minimally invasive (minimal amount of healthy tooth reduction is required)
- Immediate results - Composite bonding can often be accomplished in one office visit.
- Easily repairable
- Very natural in appearance
- Quick and Painless
