Treatment by Dr Samir Shah, Specialist in Prosthodontics at Dental Rooms, Wimbledon Village

If your teeth have become chipped, worn down, or uneven over time, you’re not alone — and you don’t always need complex or invasive procedures to restore your smile. One highly effective and minimally invasive solution is Injection Moulding, a modern restorative technique that’s growing in popularity.

At Dental Rooms, our specialist prosthodontist Dr Samir Shah recently helped a patient rejuvenate their smile using this innovative method. The goal? A natural-looking, functional smile — without drilling away healthy tooth structure.

teeth What is Injection Moulding?

Injection Moulding is a composite bonding technique that uses a precise silicone matrix to “inject” flowable composite resin onto your teeth. This method allows us to rebuild tooth structure with accuracy and strength, making it ideal for:

check-mark Worn down or eroded teeth
check-mark Chipped edges or fractured enamel
check-mark Uneven shapes or smile asymmetry
check-mark Patients seeking a cosmetic refresh without crowns or veneers

Because it’s minimally invasive, we preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible — and results can be achieved in just one or two appointments.

What is Injection Moulding in Dentistry?

Injection moulding is a modern way to fix worn, chipped, or uneven teeth without drilling or removing healthy tooth structure.

Think of it like this: imagine using a precise, custom-made mould to gently “paint” new tooth material (called composite resin) onto your teeth — carefully shaped and sculpted to look natural and feel smooth. That’s essentially what happens in injection moulding!

We use a soft, flowable tooth-coloured material that is injected through a template (a clear guide) over your teeth. This technique allows the dentist to rebuild your smile layer by layer, following a plan that’s been designed just for you.

Why might this be a good choice for you?

check-mark Looks natural: The final result blends beautifully with your existing teeth — you’ll get a refreshed smile, not a fake-looking one.

check-mark Stronger teeth: It helps protect worn or weakened teeth, restoring both appearance and function.

check-mark One or two visits: Treatment is usually completed in a short amount of time, with minimal discomfort.

Who is it best for?

  • People with worn-down, chipped or flattened teeth
  • Those who grind their teeth or have small cracks and wear
  • Anyone wanting a cosmetic refresh without veneers or crowns
  • Patients looking for a less invasive, more affordable option to restore their smile
