Why Choose Composite Bonding?

What to Expect During Composite Bonding Treatment

During your initial consultation, we assess your oral health to ensure you’re a good candidate for composite bonding. We discuss your desired results and answer any questions you may have. We also take note of the shade of your natural teeth—or your preferred new shade—so the composite can be perfectly colour-matched.

The actual composite bonding treatment is completed in a single, short appointment. We begin by drying the tooth and preparing the surface with a special acidic gel, creating a rough texture that helps the composite material bond securely.

Next, we apply the composite material in thin layers, carefully shaping it to match the natural contours of your tooth. We use a blue light to harden each layer of the composite, setting it instantly. Finally, we polish the bonded area to give it a smooth, shiny finish, making it look just like a natural tooth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can composite bonding be used on more than one tooth?

Yes, composite bonding can be applied to a single tooth or multiple teeth, depending on your needs. It’s a versatile treatment that can transform your smile. During your initial consultation, we’ll discuss your goals and how composite bonding can help you achieve them.

Is composite bonding treatment painful?

No, composite bonding is entirely pain-free, which is one of the reasons it’s so popular for cosmetic repairs. Since none of your natural tooth structure or enamel needs to be removed, you won’t experience any pain or discomfort during the procedure.

Can composite bonding be reversed?

Yes, composite bonding is fully reversible. If you decide you no longer want the composite material on your tooth, it can be easily removed without any lasting effects on your natural teeth. Your teeth will return to their original state before the treatment.

How do I care for my tooth after composite bonding treatment?

While the composite material itself is resistant to bacteria and decay, your natural tooth underneath still needs protection. Maintaining excellent oral hygiene at home is essential to ensure the longevity of your bonded tooth. If you frequently consume staining foods or drinks like tea or coffee, you may require occasional maintenance, which can be monitored during your regular dental check-ups.

What is composite?

Composite is a specialised dental resin made from a blend of plastic and glass. It mimics the appearance of natural tooth enamel and can be colour-matched to blend seamlessly with your smile. This makes it an ideal material for cosmetic dental treatments.
