NON-INVASIVE | NO DRILLING | QUICK & EASY | PAINLESS

WHAT IS DENTAL COMPOSITE BONDING?

Dental composite bonding is commonly employed to address issues such as filling in chips, fractures, or gaps between teeth, as well as correcting tooth discoloration. A composite resin, akin to the material used in dental fillings, is applied to the affected tooth and skillfully molded to reinstate its original aesthetic. The resin's color is carefully matched to your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless integration with the rest of the tooth structure. This procedure is entirely painless and non-intrusive, offering the potential to enhance your smile with noticeable results in just a single appointment!

Dental composite bonding ensures that no permanent alterations are made to your natural teeth. Our dentists enhance the tooth's appearance by applying a composite filling, which is cured using UV light. Importantly, if you ever choose to revert to your natural teeth, the composite filling can be easily removed in the future. At Dr Haroon Ismail, we have successfully completed numerous cases of dental composite bonding, and its popularity stems from its non-intrusive nature, making it one of our most sought-after treatments.

HOW DOES COMPOSITE BONDING WORK?

Through dental composite bonding, the resin is carefully applied to the enamel of the tooth and skillfully molded to either restore the tooth's original appearance or accomplish the desired corrections. The resin's color is meticulously matched to your natural teeth, guaranteeing that the bonding seamlessly blends in as if it were an inherent part of the tooth.

A curing light is utilized to set the resin, enabling your dentist to shape and mold it to match the natural contours of your tooth. This process hardens the composite bonding resin, securing it in place. Upon completion of the procedure, the composite bonding resin becomes virtually indistinguishable from the natural tooth enamel, offering a discreet and non-invasive option for individuals seeking to address minor imperfections in their teeth.

FAQ'S

Dental composite bonding is meticulously color-matched to your natural teeth, ensuring it seamlessly blends in with the surrounding teeth, becoming virtually indistinguishable. Additionally, this bonding can be complemented by our teeth whitening treatments to achieve a brighter and whiter smile. If you’re considering both dental composite bonding and teeth whitening, it is advisable to discuss your plans with your dentist during the consultation to tailor a comprehensive and effective treatment strategy.

This is so that your dentist can arrange the appointment to whiten your teeth first, then then the follow-up appointment for your dental composite bonding treatment, which can be matched to your new, whiter smile. It is important to note that, once composite bonding is in place and has been adhered to your tooth, the material cannot be whitened.
 
Dental composite bonding last for between 3-7 years, depending on how well you care for your teeth. Following your treatment, your dentist will give you tips on how best to care for your smile, but we recommend keeping up with your regular dental checkups and hygienist appointments to make sure that your smile lasts for many years to come.
 

In order to get long-lasting results following dental composite bonding, we recommend that for the first 48 hours following your treatment, you avoid tea, coffee and staining foods. If you regularly consume these foods, as well as things such as red wine and tomato-rich sauces, you may find that the colour of the dental composite bonding dulls just as your natural teeth would.

Avoid biting nails or chewing hard items, such as pen lids, which could chip or damage the composite bonding material. Dental composite bonding, although strong, isn’t as strong as natural enamel, so it is important to take precautions where possible. As well as this, brushing your teeth at least twice a day, plus keeping up with your dental checkup and hygiene appointments, will help your composite bonding remain unstained.
 

Dental composite bonding is a highly recommended treatment for resolving minor cosmetic dental complaints, such as chips, cracks or stains. For more severe cases, there are alternative treatments available but these are more permanent.

Veneers, which are thin custom-made moulds made from composite or porcelain material, can be used to hide bigger gaps in teeth where orthodontic treatments aren’t recommended as well as heavy staining or larger chips.

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps which are placed on top of the visible portion of a tooth and will function just like a natural tooth. These alternatives, however, do require preparation and some permanent changes to the tooth. They are also more expensive in terms of treatment cost compared to dental composite bonding. Our dentists will be happy to discuss alternative treatment options with you during your initial consultation and answer any questions you may have.
