Composite bonding

What is composite bonding?

Composite bonding is a dental procedure that is used to change the shape, colour, size or spacing of your teeth using composite resin. The resin can be colour-matched to your surrounding teeth so it is virtually unnoticeable to others.

How does composite bonding work?

Dental is a simple procedure that can usually be completed in under an hour. If used to fill a cavity, we can provide anaesthetic. Otherwise, dental bonding is a painless experience.

Your dentist will use a shade guide to match the composite resin to your enamel colour. Then they will prepare your tooth with a mild chemical solution to create a more secure bond for the resin. We don’t have to remove any enamel to do this.

Next, your dentist will apply the composite resin in layers and moulded into the desired shape. A curing light will then be used to harden the composite, and your tooth will be given a good polish to give it a smooth and natural-looking finish.

Who is composite bonding right for?

Depending on whether your dental needs are cosmetic or restorative, dental bonding can often be used as an alternative to veneers or crowns. Composite bonding is a great option for patients with:

  • Small gaps
  • Minor chips or cracks
  • Misshapen teeth
  • Stains that do not respond to whitening
  • Slight misalignments
  • Worn edges
  • Disproportionately small teeth

Benefits of composite bonding

Composite bonding is a wonderful option for patients who want to change the look of their smile. It is:

Affordable

Bonding is more budget-friendly than many cosmetic dental treatments.

Conservative

Bonding preserves more of your natural tooth structure than other options.

Versatile

Composite bonding is appropriate for most patients and can address a number of smile concerns.

Convenient

Composite bonding only requires a single office visit!

How to care for your dental bonding after treatment

In the first 48 hours after dental bonding treatment, you should avoid dark beverages and sauces and refrain from smoking to prevent staining. Your bonded tooth will not require any special care after that – just avoid chewing on pens or your nails to prevent chipping!
