This is the same material that is used to provide tooth-coloured fillings, and in its simplest form is used for just that. Older generation composite resins can discolour over time, seriously compromising an otherwise good looking tooth, replacing the filling with a newer material can really make a difference to the appearance with almost no extra loss of tooth structure.

In certain situations and when more destructive procedures are not appropriate composite resin can be used:

To close gaps between teeth
Before	After

Provide full surface coverage (veneering)
Before	After

Build up worn down teeth
Before	After

After

The composite resins and bonding materials are constantly being improved. We make sure that each time a new development occurs, we attend the relevant educational courses and source independent research material to decide whether the manufacturer claims are warranted and if we should add the materials to our stock. In this way only those materials that have been independently proven will ever be used in your care.
