What does composite bonding involve?
Composite bonding is a meticulous process that demands careful planning and precise placement. While the actual procedure may be relatively quick, the intricate design and shaping of the composite material requires significant time and expertise in order to achieve a beautiful and natural-looking result.
Initially, we ensure you are in good oral health and suitable for treatment. We ask you about your ideal results and give you the chance to ask us any questions. We also make a note of the shade of your natural teeth, or your ideal new shade, so the composite can be colour-matched.
We begin your bonding treatment by drying your tooth, and then use an acidic gel to prepare the surface. We apply the composite material in layers, building up the desired shape. The resin is hardened using a curing light, and sets immediately.
Finally, we use AquaCare, an innovative technology that enables superior dental bonding and preserves more of your natural tooth structure. We polish your restored tooth so it looks shiny, smooth and healthy. After just one short appointment, the surface, shape, and colour of your teeth are transformed. You’ll never want to hide your smile again!
