Same-day smile transformations
Minor imperfections can damage your confidence. Chips, cracks, discolouration, thinning enamel, gaps and crooked teeth can make it difficult for you to smile with confidence.
Composite bonding is a revolutionary new treatment that can fix minor imperfections in just one visit. Instead of creating a porcelain crown or veneer, the material is applied directly to the teeth and shaped. This also means minimal preparation of the underlying tooth structure.
How does composite bonding work?
Composite bonding uses a resin material, similar to that used in white fillings. Your teeth are prepared to allow the composite material to bond to your teeth. The composite resin is then carefully colour matched to the surrounding teeth.
The material is applied directly to the tooth, shaped and then hardened with a UV light. You can leave the practice with a dramatically different smile the same day, with no need to wait for crowns or veneers. You can have composite bonding applied to a single tooth or multiple teeth to create subtle but impactful changes to your smile.
What can composite bonding fix?
Composite bonding is ideally used for minor imperfections. This can include chips, cracks and uneven edges. It can also change the shape of a tooth, making it appear straighter, which can be a great alternative to veneers. Composite bonding can close gaps in your smile, which makes it an excellent alternative to braces.
In cases of thinning enamel, the ends of your teeth might appear darker and have jagged edges. Composite bonding will not only help to improve the appearance of thinning enamel, but it will also help to protect the underlying structure. And finally, composite bonding can also make your teeth appear whiter. This is ideal if you are unable to whiten your teeth with traditional teeth whitening.
Do you offer composite veneers?
By applying composite bonding to multiple teeth, it’s possible to create the illusion of a veneer, without the need to prepare the underlying tooth structure. If you are on a budget, this type of treatment can be a welcome alternative to porcelain veneers.
The benefit of a composite veneer is that it isn’t permanent. The composite material will wear down over time, which will give you the opportunity to decide if you would like to invest in veneers or reapply the composite bonding treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does composite bonding last?
Composite bonding can last for several years with proper care. However, it may require touch-ups or replacement over time due to normal wear and tear.
Is composite bonding painful?
Composite bonding is a minimally invasive procedure and typically does not require anaesthesia. Patients may experience slight discomfort during the process, but it is generally well-tolerated.
Can composite bonding fix gaps between teeth?
Yes, composite bonding can effectively close gaps between teeth by applying the resin material to the sides of the teeth, creating a more uniform appearance.
Will composite bonding stain?
While composite bonding is resistant to staining, it may still become discoloured over time, especially if exposed to foods and drinks that can stain teeth. Maintaining good oral hygiene can help prevent staining.
Is composite bonding reversible?
Yes, composite bonding is reversible. If you’re unhappy with the results or want to explore other options in the future, the bonding material can be removed without causing damage to the teeth.
Can composite bonding fix crooked teeth?
Composite bonding can improve the appearance of mildly crooked teeth by reshaping and contouring them. However, for more severe misalignments, orthodontic treatment may be necessary.
How is composite bonding different from veneers?
Composite bonding involves applying a tooth-coloured resin directly to the teeth, while veneers are thin shells that are custom-made and bonded to the front surface of the teeth. Veneers typically require more extensive preparation and are more durable.
How should I care for my teeth after composite bonding?
To maintain the longevity of composite bonding, it’s essential to practice good oral hygiene, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. Avoiding habits like biting on hard objects or chewing ice can also help prevent damage to the bonding material.
