Today is the summer solstice; the longest day of the year. It is also the hottest day on record since 1976. Phew! Aside from that, we would like to discuss a very cool treatment- cosmetic bonding. Never heard of it? Well, let us explain in 5 simple ways:
 

1. Cosmetic bonding can correct mis shaped, uneven, spaced teeth in ONE visit
2. The treatment requires NO drilling of your teeth
3. There is NO need for any needles
4. It is reversible
5. It is affordable

Cosmetic bonding involves very careful layered placement of highly aesthetic composite white filling material which is then contoured and polished meticulously. It is easier to see with your own eyes:
 

One of our favourite treatments is cosmetic bonding. We can create stunning smiles in just one appointment, without drilling your teeth, without needles and without any pain. What's more, the treatment is far more affordable than porcelain veneers for example. What is involved? Cosmetic bonding can be explained in 5 simple steps:
 

1. Full clinical examination (of course!!)
2. Photographs and possibly a diagnostic wax up of the proposed new shape of your teeth
3. Mock up to visualise the end result
4. Cosmetic bonding completed using the latest high tech composite white fillings
5. Monitoring and maintenance

For the best result, we advise tooth whitening prior to cosmetic bonding. The gold standard is Philips ZOOM LED in surgery whitening followed by a period of home whitening.
