Transform your smile with composite bonding

Are you looking to enhance your smile with a non-invasive and affordable solution? Composite bonding might be the perfect option for you. Composite bonding is a versatile dental procedure that can dramatically improve the appearance of your teeth. This minimally invasive technique involves applying a tooth-coloured resin material to your teeth and shaping it to correct imperfections such as chips, cracks, gaps, or discoloration. Composite bonding is a popular choice for those seeking a quick, affordable, and effective way to enhance their smile.

What is composite bonding?

The composite bonding resin is skilfully shaped and polished by our expert dentists, improving the appearance of your teeth, and creating a more harmonious, natural look. It’s a versatile technique that can address various dental imperfections.

For any light damage to your front teeth or contouring your bite surfaces on the back teeth, we can use composite bonding to rebuild teeth. The special dental resin is made from a combination of plastic and glass. It can perfectly mimic tooth enamel and we can colour-match it to your tooth colour, so it looks just like your tooth.

Composite can be built directly on your tooth so there is no need to strip away a layer of enamel. Bonding requires a degree of skill to accurately build up the shape of a tooth from scratch and we have restorative dentistry experts who make it appear as if there was no damage in the first place.

Why have composite bonding?

  • Unlike other types of restorative and cosmetic treatments, there is no need to remove any of the tooth to make space for the restoration.
  • The treatment is quick. There is no need to take impressions or have restorations built in the lab. Everything happens in our practice.
  • As we can match the composite to your tooth colour, it’s a very aesthetic treatment.

Advantages of composite bonding:

Natural-looking results: Composite resin mimics the natural colour and translucency of your teeth, delivering aesthetically pleasing results that blend seamlessly with your smile.

Non-invasive: Unlike some other cosmetic treatments, composite bonding doesn’t require the removal of healthy tooth structure. It’s a conservative approach that preserves your natural teeth.

Quick and convenient: In most cases, composite bonding can be completed in a single appointment, saving you time, and reducing the need for multiple visits to the dentist.

Versatile: Composite bonding teeth can be used to address a wide range of dental issues, including chipped teeth, gaps, discoloration, and misshapen teeth.

Minimal discomfort: Patients typically experience little to no discomfort during the procedure, and there’s no downtime for recovery.

Cost-effective: Compared to other cosmetic dental treatments, composite bonding is a cost-effective option for improving your smile.

What is involved in composite bonding treatment?

  • We first dry the tooth and prepare the surface with a special acidic gel. This creates a rough surface for the composite to properly bond to.
  • We apply the composite in layers, gradually building up the shape.
  • Using a blue light, we harden the resin in its desired shape.
  • We then polish the composite, so it looks just like a natural tooth.

Looking after your restored tooth

Composite is invulnerable to bacteria and decay, but the natural tooth underneath isn’t. Great oral hygiene at home will keep your tooth lasting for as long as possible. You may require maintenance on these restorations, particularly if you like to drink tea or coffee or enjoy other food and drinks that stain your teeth. This can easily be monitored at your regular check-ups.

Frequently Asked Questions

Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves applying a tooth-coloured resin material to the surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. It can be used to repair chips, cracks, gaps, and stains.
Composite bonding is generally a painless procedure. Your dentist will numb the area around the tooth being treated before applying the resin material.
The longevity of composite bonding depends on several factors, including your oral hygiene habits and how well you care for your teeth. With proper care, composite bonding can last for several years.
Composite bonding is a less invasive and more affordable option than dental veneers. However, dental veneers may offer a more durable and long-lasting solution.
While dental bonding can be used to close gaps between teeth, it is not a suitable treatment for major orthodontic problems.
Composite bonding is not a permanent solution. Over time, the resin material may wear down or become discoloured.
Composite bonding can typically be completed in one or two dental appointments.
After composite bonding, you should avoid eating or drinking for a few hours to allow the resin material to harden. You should also brush your teeth gently and avoid using abrasive toothpaste.
