Fast and simple treatment to improve your smile
If you’re looking for a quick smile makeover, or want a simple way to repair small chips, restore minor damage, or brighten one or more teeth, composite bonding is the ideal treatment. In just a single short appointment, we can change the shape, colour, and size of your teeth, and help you achieve the smile you deserve. The composite is built directly on your tooth, making it a comfortable and non-invasive cosmetic procedure with amazing results.
Your composite bonding treatment steps
Step 1 - Consultation
At your initial consultation, we ensure you are in good oral health and check your teeth are suitable for composite bonding treatment. We ask about your smile goals and answer any of your questions.
Step 2 - Planning
We make a note of the shade of your natural teeth, so the composite can be colour-matched for a flawless finish. We can also use composite material in a lighter shade to beautifully brighten your smile.
Step 3 - Treatment
Your composite bonding treatment is completed in just one short appointment. We dry your tooth and prepare the surface with a special acidic gel. This creates a rough surface for the composite to properly bond to.
Step 4 - Results
We apply the composite material in layers, gradually building up the accurate shape of your tooth. We harden the composite, which sets immediately. We then polish the composite so it looks shiny, healthy, and just like a natural tooth.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, composite bonding can be used to repair a single tooth or used on multiple teeth to transform the appearance of your smile. At your first appointment, we discuss with you what your goals are from your composite bonding treatment.
Composite bonding is completely pain free, which is part of the reason why it is so popular with many patients looking for an effective cosmetic repair. None of your natural tooth structure or enamel needs to be removed to make way for the treatment so you will feel no pain or discomfort.
Yes, composite bonding is completely reversible. If you change your mind over time and no longer want the composite bonding material on your tooth, it can simply be removed. There are no lasting effects on your natural teeth and they will return to the way they were before treatment.
Composite is invulnerable to bacteria and decay, but the natural tooth underneath isn’t. Great oral hygiene at home will keep your tooth lasting for as long as possible. You may require maintenance on these restorations, particularly if you like to drink tea or coffee or enjoy other food and drinks that stain your teeth. This can easily be monitored at your regular check-ups.
Composite is a special dental resin made from a combination of plastic and glass. It can perfectly mimic tooth enamel and we can match it to your tooth colour so it blends seamlessly into your smile.
