Cosmetic Bonding

Bonding is the hand sculpting of a specialized type of white filling material to build up or re-shape natural teeth.

The latest materials and techniques have revolutionised cosmetic bonding. At THC we can now match the natural shade, translucency and texture of your teeth.

Cosmetic Bonding is best suited for smaller changes such as closing gaps, smoothing out chips and hiding small areas of discolouration. The same materials can also be used for fillings to achieve perfectly matched results. Dr Oliver Harman of THC has studied with Didier Dietchi in Geneva who ranks amongst the world’s top 3 cosmetic tooth filling experts.

Great way to explore cosmetic dentistry as it is often reversible and relatively low cost

Cosmetic Bonding can be a great way for patients to try out a new smile makeover provisionally for several months. It is easy to modify cosmetic bonding to ensure they are happy with the look and feel of their new smile before committing to a more expensive long-lasting treatment plan.
