At Optima Dental Care in Maidenhead, composite bonding is used to make subtle, well-judged improvements, refining shape and proportion while keeping your natural tooth structure intact.
Patients visit us from across Maidenhead, Cookham and Bray for cosmetic treatments that make a meaningful aesthetic difference to their teeth and their confidence.
Composite bonding isn’t just about adding material to a tooth, it’s also about how that material is shaped, finished, and blended with the surrounding enamel.
Natural teeth aren’t flat or uniform. They have subtle contours, edges, and ways of reflecting light. We focus on:
