Composite bonding, also known as cosmetic bonding, is a very effective treatment used to repair damaged teeth. This treatment is simple, quick and affordable, yet it can make a massive difference to the look of your smile. If you’ve put up with chipped or worn teeth for too long, now is the perfect time to call us and find out more about composite bonding.
What is composite bonding?
Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that also has restorative benefits for your teeth. Dental composite is used to repair damaged teeth. In its putty-like form, it can be shaped and moulded to repair chipped teeth, build-up worn tooth surfaces and even close the gap between two teeth. Your City Dental Dentist will use their creative flair and experience to create amazing results using dental composite and once they are happy with the look of your new smile, the composite will be hardened before final touches are made.
Before bonding, your dentist will clean the affected teeth, roughen the edges and apply resin and bonding agent to ensure that the composite will bond properly. The composite is then added and set hard using a curing light. After final adjustments have been made, your dentist will give your teeth a polish to ensure you leave with a gleaming smile.
Composite bonding usually takes less than an hour and only a single appointment is required. The procedure is painless and most patients do not require local anaesthetic.
Who can benefit from composite bonding?
Composite bonding is an ideal treatment for patients who have chipped teeth, worn teeth or a small gap between two of their teeth. This is a more affordable option than veneers and it is also quicker and more straight-forward.
