Perfect your smile
Dental Composite Bonding
One of Timperley Village Dental Practice’s most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures, Composite Bonding allows you to transform both your smile and your confidence. A pain-free cosmetic treatment, Composite Bonding is when a dentist applies a composite resin to your teeth to reshape them and improve their appearance.
If you have misshapen, discoloured or chipped teeth, bonding could be the solution for you.
What is cosmetic bonding?
Bonding is a procedure when your dentist fixes a composite material to your natural teeth, filling in gaps and altering their appearance. There’s no need for a local anaesthetic, and the treatment is quick, easy and entirely painless.
Due to its non-invasive nature, this kind of treatment is often cheaper than other solutions such as dental veneers or dental implants. Cosmetic bonding invites you to undergo a smile makeover without major intervention or visiting the dentist multiple times.
What could Composite Bonding do for me?
Cosmetic bonding is a great way to address several issues, which can considerably affect your confidence and the way you face the world. These can include a tooth or teeth which are:
- Cracked
- Broken
- Discoloured
- Misshapen
- Stained
- Uneven.
Composite Bonding provides you with a sparkling new smile that will allow you to laugh, eat and talk with no self-consciousness. Truly, good quality bonding can help you reclaim your smile and some of the joys of life.
What are the benefits of dental bonding?
The many benefits of bonding treatment include:
- Minimal changes to your natural teeth
- Quick and simple procedure, making it less expensive than other solutions
- Easy to maintain and repair
- Long lasting results; bonding usually lasts up to 7 years
What does the bonding process involve?
The preparation and procedure for applying bonding are minimal and straightforward and can be completed in just one appointment.
The Consultation: Before we begin treatment, we always want to understand who you are and what kind of results you envision. Our friendly and attentive dental staff will listen to your concerns and work to your wishes. This helps us deliver the fantastic results that are now associated with our name.
The procedure: Your dentist will colour match your natural teeth with the composite materials for the procedure. This ensures your smile looks consistent and natural.
The tooth’s surface will need to be prepared to apply the resin. Once placed and shaped, your dentist will spend a bit of time tweaking the placement and moulding around your tooth structure, so it’s just right.
The resin is then set with a UV light.
The aftercare: After your treatment, you’ll need to abstain from smoking, drinking coffee or tea and food that might stain for at least 48 hours. Regular brushing and flossing are a must to maintain the colour of your bonding. It’s also recommended you avoid biting down on anything hard that could chip the resin, such as your nails.
Should I get Composite Bonding or Veneers?
Depending on your requirements, you might want to consider veneers instead of Composite Bonding. Veneers are more durable and last longer. However, the procedure is much more intense, and your natural teeth will have to be filed down to fit your veneers.
Bonding is an excellent alternative to porcelain veneers, and your dentist will be able to work to your requests in terms of aesthetics. Dental bonding is a flexible way to achieve multiple outcomes, whether you’re looking for something virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth or a more “unnatural” look and tooth colour.
Our dentist will be sure to point you in the direction if you’re unsure which solution suits you best.
