Composite Bonding

Whether you want to fix a chipped tooth, close gaps between teeth, or reshape your smile, composite bonding can provide a quick and painless solution. With its natural appearance and long-lasting results, this treatment offers a cost-effective alternative to veneers or crowns. It’s an efficient way to fix dental imperfections and boost your smile confidence.

This dental procedure involves the application of a tooth-colored resin material to the teeth in order to improve their appearance. The process will start with our dentist preparing the tooth surface by roughening it and applying a conditioning liquid. This helps create a strong bond between the tooth and the composite resin material. The resin material is then carefully applied to the tooth and shaped to achieve the desired result. The resin should blend seamlessly with the natural teeth. A special light is then used to harden the resin material and bond it to the tooth surface. This is a quick and efficient way to achieve a beautiful smile.

FAQ's

What’s the difference between composite bonding and veneers?

Composite bonding involves the application of a tooth-colored resin material to the surface of the tooth. Veneers are thin shells made of porcelain or composite material that are custom-made to fit over the front surface of the tooth. Veneers usually require some enamel removal to ensure a proper fit and are generally more durable, but their higher price reflects this. Composite bonding is usually a more cost-effective solution.
Can I get a teeth whitening treatment on composite bonding?

Yes, if your composite bonding material has become stained or discolored, a teeth whitening treatment can be performed to restore the natural brightness of it. It is important to consult with your dentist to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
Is this a painful treatment?

While some patients may experience mild sensitivity or discomfort during the procedure, it is typically well-tolerated. Local anesthesia can be used to numb the area if necessary.
How long does composite bonding last?

On average, composite bonding can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years. However, with proper care and regular dental check-ups, it is possible for it to last even longer.
Can composite bonding fix a crown?

While composite bonding is effective for correcting minor dental imperfections such as chips, cracks, and gaps, it is not typically used to fix a crown. If your crown is damaged or needs to be replaced, come and talk to us about the most appropriate solution.
Is composite bonding suitable for everyone?

Your suitability for composite bonding depends on the condition of your teeth, your desired outcome, and your oral health. For individuals with severely damaged or decayed teeth, other dental treatments such as crowns or veneers may be more appropriate. Additionally, individuals with certain oral health conditions, such as gum disease or tooth sensitivity, may need to address these issues before undergoing composite bonding.
