This procedure offers immediate results. In most cases a single visit will enable us to fix minor imperfections with immediate results and no downtime. Composite Bonding is a non-invasive procedure and can be a cost-effective of achieving of achieving a new desired look.
There are multiple advantages to composite bonding for your teeth, including:
● Enhancing/restoring your tooth shape
● No drilling of the tooth is necessary and therefore no injection is required.
● Most cases are completed in one appointment.
● Can change the shade of your teeth if composite veneers are used.
To find out more, please book an initial consultation today to see if you are suitable for this procedure.
The tooth enamel is gently cleaned with a weak acidic gel to prepare the surface before the bonding agent is placed. We will then apply tooth coloured composite resin material in small amounts to the tooth in different shades to build up the right colour and contour of the tooth. A UV light is then used to harden and set the material. The material is then polished and the shape refined.
Due to the material of the composite bond being softer than your natural teeth they need to be maintained well and are more prone to discolouration. We have our composite conditioning treatment available to keep composite at its best and advise this every 3-6months. Typically, composite bonding cosmetically lasts around 5 years.
We would always advise teeth whitening is done prior to composite bonding so that the new tooth shade can be achieved and then the composite bonding can be matched to this.
