Bonding
Composite bonding is a modern way to restore teeth, either for cosmetic reasons, or to build up tooth structure that has been lost.
It involves bonding a tooth coloured resin material to existing teeth to reshape them or improve their colour. We bond on very strongly the resin material, polish it up, and this will last for many years. Composite bonding is appropriate for pretty much every patient.
Why opt for Composite Bonding
Bonding is not necessary, it is purely a cosmetic treatment. Bonding does not usually require the dentist to remove any part of your tooth. It is composite material that is glued to your teeth to give them your preferred shape or colour.
How long will this last
The restoration will last 5-6 years before it needs to be polished up or repaired in some way.
Composite bonding is a completely pain free procedure. There is:
No anaesthetic required
No drilling required
No change to the existing tooth structure
Just polishing of the teeth, and then gently adding on the resin material and then giving that a very high grade polish at the end.
