Composite bonding is a fast, effective and cost-effective treatment that can cover your tooth imperfections and boost your confidence.
What is composite bonding?
Composite bonding is a modern, pain-free technique that allows you to repair your cracked, chipped or discoloured teeth, replace silver fillings, close gaps, reshape your teeth and smile with confidence.
It involves bonding a naturally coloured tooth-coloured resin to your existing teeth without changing your natural teeth. Used for many years, it’s a popular cosmetic dental procedure because it’s almost indetectable, requires just one visit to your dentist and you can enjoy the results immediately.
What is the composite bonding procedure?
After being welcomed to our friendly, professional dental clinic, your dentist will invite you into the treatment room. They will discuss the procedure and answer any questions you may have.
When treatment starts, your dentist may give you a local anaesthetic to numb the tooth and surrounding tissue. Then they will place a thin sheet of latex-free rubber over your mouth to keep your tooth dry and separate it from the rest of your teeth.
First, we will clean your tooth carefully, removing all decay, food debris and tartar then apply a special gel to roughen the surface of your tooth and ensure the strength of the bond.
Next, we will apply a bonding agent (a special type of dentistry glue) and set it using a concentrated beam of UV light. Your composite bond will be applied in layers and set using UV light to create the desired shape.
Finally, we will polish your tooth restoration to ensure it looks natural and beautiful.
