- What Is Composite Bonding? A Complete Guide
Cosmetic dentistry has grown in popularity in recent years. More and more people are using treatments like veneers to fix the things they dislike about their smiles, and dental practices are meeting this demand with a broad range of services.
While teeth whitening and veneers draw considerable attention on social media and from celebrities, one treatment repeatedly enhances smiles without demanding praise or recognition —composite bonding.
Also known as cosmetic bonding, composite bonding is simple, painless, and effective. It can almost effortlessly improve your smile. So, what is composite bonding, and how does it work?
This guide answers many of the most common questions about composite bonding while explaining the benefits and what you can expect from the procedure.
If you have several issues with your smile, you may not want to have multiple treatments to address them. What if you could fix them all at once?
Composite bonding can treat visible damage to teeth like chips and cracks. We can also use it to add to misshapen teeth, so they appear balanced against their neighbours. The treatment can also treat stains and discolouration.
Every composite bonding treatment is tailored to the individual, so after a full consultation, we’ll design the smile you want.
We do not need to take impressions of your teeth before your composite bonding procedure, and no preparation is needed. In fact, we don’t need to make anything in advance.
Composite bonding uses tooth-coloured resin, which is applied directly to your teeth. We then mould and shape this resin until your teeth look perfect. Once we’re happy with your new teeth, we use a special light to bond the resin to them before polishing them to make them feel completely natural.
There’s no need for drills or other similar tools when we perform composite bonding. In fact, the procedure is pain-free. You won’t even need an anaesthetic.
There is no recovery time because there is no pain, drills, needles, or anaesthetics. Once your teeth are firmly bonding into position, you can return to your normal routine.
Composite bonding is the perfect way to address cosmetic problems, even if you have dental anxiety.
Given the nature of the treatment, we can treat a single tooth in barely any time at all. The duration of your procedure will depend on the number of teeth receiving bonding. However, you’ll love how quickly you’ll see the amazing results.
Chips and cracks in your teeth are potential entry points for bacteria to enter and cause infections. By repairing the damage, we’ll help prevent bacteria from breaking through and causing further issues.
The beauty of composite bonding is that it’s a cost-effective way to dramatically change the appearance of your smile. It’s perfect for small alterations or giving your smile a whole new look. Finance options are available if you need to spread the cost of your treatment.
Because composite bonding is tailored to your needs, we can give you the smile you want to see. We can use composite bonding to address issues on just one or two teeth or use it to improve your entire smile.
Once the treatment is complete, the colour-matched resin will seamlessly blend with your natural teeth. Wherever we build up misshapen teeth, they’ll match those around them, giving your smile a more uniform appearance. Everyone will see the improvement in your smile, but nobody will notice the bonding that’s behind the changes.
Composite bonding might be one of the less-talked-about cosmetic procedures, but that does not reflect its ability to enhance your smile. Your treatment will address the issues affecting your smile quickly and without pain.
