A chipped tooth or uneven edge can change how you feel about your smile. At Michael Kelly Dentistry in Glasgow, we offer composite bonding to restore shape, close small gaps and improve the look of your teeth in a simple, pain-free way.

Bonding is one of the easiest and most effective cosmetic treatments available. It can be completed in a single visit and gives instant, natural-looking results without damaging your teeth.

What is Composite Bonding

Composite bonding uses a tooth-coloured resin to repair or reshape teeth. The resin is carefully applied, sculpted and polished to match the shade and contour of your natural teeth.

It can be used to:

• Repair chips or cracks
• Close small gaps
• Smooth uneven edges
• Improve discolouration
• Adjust the shape or length of teeth

At Michael Kelly Dentistry, every case is tailored to your smile. Our dentists work with precision to make sure the final result looks natural and blends perfectly with the rest of your teeth.

The Benefits of Composite Bonding

Composite bonding is popular with patients across Glasgow because it offers:

• Quick results, often completed in one appointment
• No drilling or anaesthetic in most cases
• A natural finish that matches your existing teeth
• An affordable alternative to veneers or crowns
• Minimal impact on your natural tooth structure

It’s a gentle way to make visible improvements without committing to more complex procedures.

The Composite Bonding Process

Here is what to expect when you book composite bonding at our Glasgow clinic.

Consultation
Your dentist will examine your teeth and discuss what you would like to change. We will assess whether bonding is the right option for you and may take digital scans or photographs to plan your treatment.

Shade and Shape Matching
We carefully select the shade of resin that best matches your natural tooth colour. The goal is a seamless result that looks like part of your original tooth.

Bonding and Shaping
The surface of the tooth is lightly prepared so the resin can adhere properly. The composite material is then applied in layers, shaped, and sculpted to the right form. A special light hardens the material instantly.

Polishing
Once the resin has set, we smooth and polish it to achieve a natural shine. The entire process usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes per tooth.

Follow-Up
Your dentist will check the bite and make any small adjustments if needed.
