What is Composite Bonding?

What is composite bonding?

Composite bonding is a non-invasive cosmetic dental treatment. This procedure effectively repairs dental imperfections like discolouration or gaps between the teeth. It can help to improve the overall shape and appearance of your smile and can be used in conjunction with other dental treatments. Composite bonding is commonly performed after Invisalign treatment, helping to create that perfect finish.

The composite bonding treatment process

Composite bonding essentially creates a new surface layer for the tooth using a material called composite resin. Resin can easily be colour-matched to your existing teeth and the material can be shaped in a way that suits your smile.

This treatment does not require any sedation and will provide you with results that look natural. The resin is applied to your teeth, helping to fill in any gaps and correct imperfections, and the material is then hardened using UV light.

At our award-winning practice in Leeds, we’ll keep you in the loop for the entirety of your dental bonding treatment. Our composite bonding dentists have a wealth of experience and will discuss with you the best treatment option for you. If you are not sure about anything, we are always on hand for you to ask.

The benefits of composite bonding

A single-tooth dental bond at our state-of-the-art practice in Leeds can usually be completed in just one sitting. This means you can leave our practice with a brand new smile on that same day. Dental bonding treatment is minimally-invasive and typically doesn’t require the removal of enamel. The treatment can improve your confidence by giving you a beautiful smile that looks completely natural.

Is composite bonding right for me?

When visiting our stylish Leeds practice, our compassionate clinicians will take the time to discuss your treatment options with you. Composite bonding is suitable for almost everyone who needs to correct minor dental issues. However, its effectiveness can be determined by the level of damage to the teeth and the condition that your teeth are in. For severe chips and cracks, dental crowns and veneers may be a more appropriate treatment. If you are showing symptoms of gum disease or have a misaligned bite, this will need to be treated before dental composite bonding can proceed.

If composite bonding is not recommended, we will provide you with an alternative tailored treatment plan to help you achieve your desired results.

Composite bonding aftercare

Aftercare for composite bonding is similar to taking care of your existing teeth. For 48 hours after treatment, we would advise avoiding food or drinks that could stain the resin. For example, wine or coffee.

Continue to maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing twice a day using fluoride toothpaste. We also recommend visiting our practice in Leeds for routine hygiene appointments after your composite bonding treatment. This will help to keep on top of your oral health and prevent any discolouration of the resin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I suitable for composite bonding?

You may not be suitable for composite bonding if you have signs of gum disease or a misaligned bite. These dental concerns will need to be treated before tooth bonding can begin. Our experienced composite bonding dentists will discuss with you a treatment plan that is most suitable for you during your consultation in Leeds.

How long does composite bonding last?

On average, dental composite bonding lasts 3-5 years. Oral habits and hygiene can influence how long your bonding will last. Brushing, flossing and maintaining a good diet can expand the life of composite bonding. Avoid using your teeth as tools and ensure to visit our Leeds practice for a dental check-up twice a year.

Is composite bonding painful?

Composite bonding is a simple, painless procedure. You may experience some mild sensitivity to cold and cold food or drink after the treatment, but over-the-counter medication can relieve this.

Does composite bonding damage the teeth?

Composite bonding does not damage the teeth. The material may fade away or chip over several years, but this in no way impacts the tooth's natural enamel.

Can you whiten composite bonding?

Our composite bonding dentists would not recommend whitening teeth that have been bonded. Although the whitening gel is not believed to damage dental bonding, the reaction of the resin to the whitening agent is unpredictable and you may not achieve the desired results. For a brighter and whiter smile, we would advise whitening your teeth before dental bonding is performed.
