Injection moulded composite bonding is a leading-edge technique that provides a precise and non-invasive way to restore or enhance teeth. A technician digitally designs the tooth shape and anatomy according to the ideal smile design tailored for you, the patient.
Using specially created moulds, a flowable ceramic composite material is injected, filling up the space between the teeth and the new format. This method allows for accurate reproofing of the tooth shape, preventing chipping or breaking during function. It is most suited to Veneers and Dental Bonding.

Turning Liquid into Solid: A special light is used to harden the material, turning it into a solid tooth-like form. It’s a vital step in making your new teeth strong and ready for action.
Polishing and Shaping: Your new teeth are perfectly shaped and polished. It’s like the final touch on a masterpiece, ensuring they blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Dental veneers, thin shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance, have also benefited from the advancements in injection moulding techniques. Traditionally, veneers are crafted from porcelain or composite resin materials. However, injection moulded composite bonding (often referred to as composite veneers) presents a leading alternative. This method involves creating a digital design of the veneer, which is then accurately brought to life using a mould. The flowable ceramic composite is injected into this mould, ensuring an impeccable fit and natural appearance.
Dental bonding is an innovative technique that employs the precision of injection moulding to restore or enhance the appearance of teeth seamlessly. In this method, a technician digitally designs the ideal tooth shape and anatomy, which is then precisely replicated onto the tooth. We’ll fix the space between the teeth using specially crafted moulds and the new design is filled with a flowable ceramic composite material.
