Composite Bonding Compared With Ceramic Restorations: Aesthetic Results

Looking into the mirror and wanting your teeth to look neat and pretty is something everyone understands. Lots of patients pop into our Aldershot practice wondering whether quick composite bonding or a ceramic restoration gives the nicest visual results.

How bonding looks on your teeth?

Bonding uses pliable white resin paste, just like smooth tooth-coloured putty. We press soft resin directly onto the tooth, shape the edges by hand, and set it rock solid under a blue lamp in seconds. It looks clean and natural straight away without any drilling into your healthy enamel.

What happens with custom ceramic restorations?

When you need a tooth repair that never stains, dental porcelain steps in. Our ceramist bakes hard porcelain caps inside a hot oven. Cemented over your tooth stub, this porcelain catches the light like real enamel, staying glossy and white for fifteen years.
