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!

Frequently asked questions

Can composite bonding be used on multiple teeth?

Yes, composite bonding is versatile and can be applied to both single teeth and multiple teeth to enhance your smile’s overall appearance. At your first appointment, we’ll discuss your specific goals for the treatment to ensure we achieve the best results.

Is composite bonding treatment painful?

Composite bonding is completely pain free, making it a popular choice for many patients looking for an effective cosmetic treatment option. None of your natural tooth structure or enamel needs to be removed to make way for the treatment so you will feel no pain or discomfort.

Can composite bonding be reversed?

Yes, composite bonding is completely reversible. If you change your mind over time and no longer want the composite bonding material on your tooth, it can simply be removed. There are no lasting effects on your natural teeth and they will return to the way they were before treatment.

How do I look after my tooth following composite bonding treatment?

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. Regular brushing and flossing, as well as routine dental check-ups, will help ensure the longevity of your composite bonding.
