Composite Bonding at Brisbane Smile Boutique.

1. Consultation & Shade Selection: We begin by discussing your smile goals and confirming suitability. A composite shade is chosen to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.

2. Tooth Preparation: Only a light etching of the enamel is required to promote adhesion. This step is gentle and typically doesn’t require anaesthetic.

3. Bonding Agent Application: A conditioning liquid is applied to create a strong bond between enamel and resin.

4. Layering & Sculpting: Composite resin is applied in thin layers and artistically shaped to recreate natural tooth contours.

5. Curing: Each layer is hardened with a special light to secure it firmly.

6. Finishing Touches: Once cured, the bonded area is refined and polished so it matches the texture and bite of your natural teeth.

1. Conservative: Requires little to no removal of enamel, keeping your natural tooth structure intact.

2. Budget‑Friendly: Generally less costly than veneers or crowns.

3. Time‑Efficient: Typically completed in a single visit.

4. Aesthetic Versatility: Addresses chips, cracks, discolouration, gaps and minor misalignment.

5. Laboratory‑Free: Sculpted directly on your tooth, eliminating off‑site fabrication.

6. Custom Shade Matching: Resin shades match your natural teeth for a seamless look.

7. Instant Results: Walk out with your new smile immediately.

8. Reversible: Minimal enamel removal means changes can be made later if required.

9. Versatile Uses: Suitable for cosmetic enhancements and small fillings alike.

10. Repairable: If damage occurs, it can usually be repaired easily.

1. Less Durable: Composite isn’t as strong as porcelain and may chip or wear faster.

2. More Prone to Staining: Bonded teeth can stain over time, especially with coffee, tea or smoking.

3. Shorter Lifespan: Usually lasts around 5–10 years before a touch‑up or replacement is needed.

4. Restricted Aesthetics: Ideal for small to moderate changes; porcelain provides a more lifelike translucency for major transformations.

5. Maintenance: Requires careful oral hygiene and avoidance of habits like nail‑biting or chewing hard objects.

6. Limited for Large Repairs: Not recommended for teeth needing significant reinforcement.

At Brisbane Smile Boutique the cost of bonding varies according to your specific needs. Under Dr Leila’s care, you can expect a single tooth bonding to range between A$400 and A$1250

What affects the fee?

1. Procedure Complexity: More extensive reshaping or filling will be at the higher end.

2. Treatment Time: Appointments that require detailed sculpting or multiple teeth will cost more.

3. Material Needs: The type and amount of composite resin used contribute to the overall fee.

Because every smile is unique, we recommend booking a consultation. Dr  Leila will evaluate your goals, provide a tailored estimate and help you decide if composite bonding is the best option for enhancing your smile.
