What is Composite Bonding?

Composite bonding, also known as dental bonding or teeth bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that uses a tooth-coloured composite resin material to repair and improve the appearance of your teeth. This pain free, minimally invasive treatment.

Composite bonding isn’t a cosmetic-only option: it can be great for anyone whose tooth structure has been damaged or weakened without causing further damage to the teeth.

Composite bonding might be the perfect solution for you

One of the most versatile and popular cosmetic procedures we offer at The Dental Works in Shenfield to enhance your smile is composite bonding.

  • We can change the overall shape, size and colour of the tooth.
  • We can make the edges of the tooth look more uniform and repair small chips or imperfections.

Whether you’re looking to repair a minor imperfection or achieve a complete smile makeover, composite bonding might be the ideal solution for you.

The quickest way to improve the shape, colour and size of the teeth

By applying composite resin to the tooth, shaping it to restore its original appearance and colour-matching to look totally natural we can give you an amazing smile you will love. The procedure is a more affordable and less time-consuming treatment than you may think and can address a variety of dental concerns, including:

  • Chipped or cracked teeth
  • Discoloured or stained teeth
  • Worn edges
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Misshapen or uneven teeth
  • Decay in the front teeth

Our cosmetic dentists are continually recommended by patients for this swift, straightforward and entirely non-invasive dental treatment.

  • Chipped or cracked teeth
  • Discoloured or stained teeth
  • Worn edges
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Misshapen or uneven teeth
  • Decay in the front teeth

We can transform your smile in just 1 – 3 hours

Treatment is completely non- invasive and requires no drilling, no injections and can often be completed in one appointment.

A cosmetic smile makeover with composite bonding will leave your teeth looking brighter and more harmonious, your natural teeth will not be harmed and the resin is strong and will be cured onto your natural teeth.

The Benefits of Composite Bonding

Cost-Effective
Compared to other cosmetic dental treatments, composite bonding is an affordable way to enhance your smile.

Minimally Invasive

Versatile
This treatment can be used to address a variety of cosmetic and structural dental issues.

Composite Bonding FAQs

Here are some of the most common questions we get from our patients

The procedure typically takes between 30 minutes to an hour per tooth. Most treatments can be completed in a single appointment, making it a convenient and affordable option for many patients.

With proper care, composite bonding can last between 3 to 5 years. The longevity of the bonding depends on factors like oral hygiene, eating habits, and the location of the bonded tooth.

We follow a very precise and meticulous process to ensure outstanding results for all our patients:

  • Consultation: During your initial consultation, we will discuss your dental concerns and aesthetic goals. We will examine your teeth and determine if composite bonding is the right option for you.
  • Preparation: We begin by selecting the appropriate shade of composite resin to match your natural teeth. The front surface of the tooth is then slightly roughened, and a conditioning liquid is applied to help the bonding material adhere.
  • Application: The composite resin is carefully applied, moulded, and sculpted to the desired shape. A special light is used to cure and bond the material perfectly to the tooth.
  • Finishing Touches: Once the resin is hardened, we will trim, shape, and polish it to ensure it blends perfectly with your natural teeth.

No, composite resin does not respond to teeth whitening treatments. If you plan to whiten your teeth, it should be done before the bonding procedure to ensure the resin matches your newly whitened teeth.
