Is bonding damaging?

Composite bonding is usually considered minimally invasive because it can often be added to enamel with little or no drilling. Suitability must still be assessed clinically.

When bonding is not ideal

Active decay, gum disease, poor oral hygiene, unstable bite or severe crowding may need to be addressed first.

Why planning matters

A conservative result depends on correct case selection, shade planning, bite assessment and a clear maintenance plan.

Frequently asked questions.

General guidance only. Your own suitability needs a clinical assessment.

Does bonding require drilling?

Many cases need little or no drilling, but every case is different.

Can bonding be removed?

Composite can often be adjusted or removed by a dentist, but this should be done carefully.

Is bonding suitable for everyone?

No. Your bite, enamel, gum health and goals need to be assessed first.
