Composite Bonding...

​

​Composite bonding can be used for a variety of reasons, from repairing cracks and chips in teeth to closing gaps and reshaping teeth.

 

The procedure itself involves bonding a composite resin to the tooth, which is then hardened with a special light.

This creates a strong bond, which is both safe and aesthetically pleasing. 

 

The resin used is designed to match the natural colour of the tooth, meaning that it is virtually unnoticeable.

 

The process usually takes around an hour, although this can vary depending on the area being treated.

 

It is a relatively painless procedure, although some patients may experience minor discomfort.

 

Afterwards, the patient should be able to eat and drink as normal, although they should avoid hard or crunchy foods for the first few days. 

​

Composite bonding is a great way to improve the appearance of your teeth and can help to restore confidence in your smile.

It is also a very cost-effective procedure and can often be completed in a single visit.

​

With alternative procedures including veneers and crowns, part of the tooth is permanently removed. Our composite bonding treatment only requires roughening up the existing tooth’s texture to help the resin bond. The structure of the tooth will remain intact.
​

With good overall oral hygiene and regular brushing, your composite bonding should last for many years.

​

Composite bonding can also work alongside teeth whitening to help you achieve a whiter, bright smile.

The composite resin we use will be chosen to match the colour of your teeth, so we recommend achieving your desired shade before the composite bonding is carried out.
