A simple, effective way to rebuild your smile
Composite bonding can conceal tooth imperfections and give you a swift smile transformation. The treatment involves applying a tooth-coloured composite resin to the surface of your tooth, and is commonly used to address issues like chips, cracks, gaps, and discolouration. Composite bonding can also be used to reshape teeth and fill visible cavities, with no drilling and in just one trip to the dentist.
Composite bonding can help to:
Improve your oral health in general
Fix teeth that are chipped or cracked
Disguise discolouration and staining on your teeth
Improve tooth function and digestion
Composite bonding treatment at My E20 Dentist
Firstly, your dentist will prepare the surface of your tooth. This involves etching it using a safe acid solution to create a textured surface, enhancing the adhesion of the composite material.
Once the tooth is prepared, the composite resin is applied in layers and cured using a special light after each layer. This enables your dentist to sculpt and contour the composite material to achieve the desired shape and size.
After shaping, the composite resin is polished to blend seamlessly with the surrounding teeth, for a natural-looking smile.
Frequently asked questions
Composite bonding is suitable for most people who have minor cosmetic imperfections in their teeth. However, it may not be recommended for individuals with extensive damage or those seeking a more permanent solution. Your dentist will discuss your suitability for composite bonding with you, during your first consultation.
Composite bonding can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years or more with proper care and maintenance. However, the lifespan of bonding may vary depending on factors such as oral hygiene habits and your diet.
While composite bonding is not considered irreversible like some other procedures, it does require the removal of a small amount of enamel from the tooth's surface. Therefore, it is not entirely reversible, but the bonding material can be removed and replaced by your dentist if necessary.
Composite bonding does not require any special care beyond regular oral hygiene practices such as brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits. However, it is important to avoid habits that could damage the bonding material, such as biting on hard objects or chewing on ice.
Composite bonding materials are resistant to staining, but they may become discoloured over time, especially if exposed to foods and drinks that cause staining. Maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding staining agents like tea, coffee, red wine and tobacco can help prolong the lifespan of your composite bonding.
