Composite Bonding
Composite bonding is one of the newer treatments in our portfolio. It is a non-invasive way of improving minor imperfections in your teeth to enhance your smile.
All you need to know about composite bonding:
- Only one visit needed
- Anaesthetic usually not required
- Cost effective option
- Single or multiple teeth
Composite bonding involves applying a tooth-coloured resin to your teeth which is shaped and set with an ultraviolet light.
Uses for dental bonding:
- To repair decayed teeth
- To repair chipped or cracked teeth
- To close spaces between teeth
- To change the shape of teeth
- As a cosmetic alternative to amalgam fillings
- To protect a portion of the tooth’s root that has been exposed when gums recede.
The dental bonding procedure
Your consultation
Your dentist will schedule a consultation to determine if composite bonding is the most appropriate treatment for you. With some cases we will also produce a 3D mock-up of the proposed result so we can preview your new smile together before you proceed with treatment.
Your appointment
During the appointment the teeth to be bonded will be roughened slightly to create a surface the resin can easily attach to. The tooth-coloured resin will be applied and shaped to develop a natural result and fill all cracks and gaps. The resin is set in place with an ultraviolet light and once set, the resin is shaped, polished and glazed until the desired result is achieved.
The procedure usually takes 30-60 minutes to complete.
