What is Composite Bonding?
Some might have seen composite bonding advertised as teeth bonding or dental bonding. It’s a procedure that acts as a solution for small damages or gaps in your teeth. It is considered a minimally invasive dental procedure, as it doesn’t require much intervention, compared to dental implants or other dental treatments. Teeth bonding will fill in chips in between your teeth, repair fractures, and hide gaps. It will also help with discolored teeth. The resin that will be attached to your teeth during the procedure can act as a cover. Your teeth’ colour and the resin will be matched up to ensure everything looks natural.
In the UK, this procedure isn’t covered by the NHS. Therefore, many of our customers fly over from the UK to complete the procedure of teeth bonding in Turkey, at Vera Smile. Our talented dentists always do a great job and have been awarded for their commendable dental and cosmetic skills.

The Process of Composite Bonding at Vera Smile
At Vera Smile, we ensure minimal preparation is required for dental bonding. In most cases, anesthesia isn’t necessary unless we’re filling a decayed tooth or need to alter its shape near the nerve. Using a shade guide, we meticulously select a composite resin color that seamlessly matches your tooth’s natural shade.
During the bonding process, we begin by roughening the tooth’s surface and applying a conditioning liquid to facilitate material adherence. Then, we apply the tooth-colored resin, shaping it to perfection before hardening it with a bright light or laser. After hardening, we meticulously trim, shape, and polish the material to blend seamlessly with the rest of your tooth’s surface.
Our efficient procedures typically complete teeth bonding in just 30 to 60 minutes per tooth. While dental bonding has its limitations, we at Vera Smile believe it’s best suited for small cosmetic changes and short-term corrections, especially for front teeth with minimal bite pressure. Consult with us to determine the ideal cosmetic approach tailored to your needs.
The Benefits of Composite Bonding
Composite bonding is performed in just a single visit to our dental clinic in Turkey. It’s a fast and effective way to fix your teeth, mainly their color, and small fractures or gaps. The composite is hardened using a UV light straight after it’s been applied. This process results in a strong tooth that you can comfortably bite down on and should last for a few years. The main benefits of teeth bonding are:

Alternatives to Composite Bonding
There are many advantages to the teeth bonding procedure but some decide to go for other dental work, such as, dental crowns, veneers or a Hollywood smile treatment. It depends on what you are looking for. When it comes down to dental treatments, your age, the condition of your teeth, and how much you are willing to spend, matter a lot. Here are some details about the alternatives to composite bonding:
Veneers – Known for lasting a long time, made from different materials and your tooth will need to be shaved down a bit to fit them. Lumineers are another type. of veneers that don’t require the initial shaving of the enamel.
Crowns – Like veneers, your teeth can be damaged when crowns are fitted, and some of the exterior parts of your teeth need to be removed.
Both alternatives can cause more damage to your teeth than composite bonding. Reason why, many decide to book a composite bonding treatment instead. You can browse our other dental treatments if you are open to considering different options. We also offer hair transplants in Turkey. All to offer you a complete range of treatments to suit your needs.
