Composite Bonding

Composite bonding is a versatile and non-invasive cosmetic dental treatment. It involves using a tooth-coloured composite resin material to repair or enhance the appearance of teeth. The resin is applied to the tooth and shaped to improve its shape, size, or colour. It can be used to fix chipped or cracked teeth, close gaps between teeth, or even reshape teeth. The material is then hardened and polished, resulting in a natural-looking and durable restoration. Composite bonding is a popular and cost-effective option for improving the aesthetics of your smile.

First, your dentist will examine your teeth and discuss your desired outcome.
The dentist will then prepare the tooth surface by gently etching it with a mild solution.
A tooth-coloured composite resin material will be applied to the tooth and shaped to achieve the desired result.
The dentist will proceed by using a special light to harden the resin, making it durable and strong.
Once the resin has hardened, the dentist will trim and shape it further to ensure a natural and comfortable fit.
The last step involves polishing the bonded tooth to give it a smooth and shiny appearance.
Composite bonding is usually a single visit procedure, so you can enjoy the results right away!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can anyone get composite bonding?

Composite bonding is a versatile and minimally invasive cosmetic dental procedure that can benefit many people. However, it is important to consult with a dentist to determine if you are a suitable candidate for composite bonding. Factors such as the condition of your teeth, oral health, and specific dental concerns will be taken into consideration.

Do you have to get composite bonding on all your teeth?

You don't have to get composite bonding on all your teeth. Composite bonding is a flexible treatment that can be applied to one or multiple teeth, depending on your specific needs and goals. It can be used to address individual teeth that have chips, cracks, discoloration, or other cosmetic concerns. Your dentist will assess your smile and recommend the best approach for achieving the results you desire.

Can I whiten my teeth after composite bonding?

Composite bonding material does not respond to teeth whitening treatments. So, if you have composite bonding on your teeth and you want to whiten them, it's best to do the teeth whitening treatment before getting the bonding done. This way, your dentist can match the bonding material to the shade of your whitened teeth.

Will eating hard food make the composite bonding fall off?

Eating hard food should not damage your composite bonding. Composite bonding is designed to be durable and withstand normal chewing forces. However, it's always a promising idea to exercise caution and avoid biting down on extremely hard objects like ice or using your teeth as tools. These habits can potentially damage both natural teeth and composite bonding.
