Composite Bonding

While teeth are naturally strong, a single encounter with a hard object or an accidental collision can lead to dental trouble. We see such incidents frequently.

Fortunately, modern dental treatments offer effective solutions for repairing chipped, cracked, blemished, or damaged teeth. If you’re facing such issues, teeth bonding could be the ideal choice for restoring your smile. Here’s all you need to know about this popular dental procedure.

Composite bonding provides a straightforward and effective solution for various dental flaws like chips, fractures, discoloration, and gaps between teeth. This cosmetic procedure involves applying a tooth-coloured composite resin to the affected tooth’s surface, seamlessly restoring its appearance. Unlike traditional fillings, bonding focuses primarily on enhancing the tooth’s aesthetic appeal, making it a popular choice for minor dental issues.

The teeth bonding process is quick and typically completed in a single dental visit without pain or needles. After an initial assessment to determine suitability, the dentist selects a resin colour that matches the natural teeth. The tooth’s surface is then prepared, and the resin is applied, shaped, and cured using UV light. This results in a smooth, natural-looking finish, improving the overall smile aesthetics. The entire procedure typically takes around 30 to 60 minutes per tooth, offering convenience for patients.

While teeth bonding is ideal for minor cosmetic concerns, it may not be suitable for more extensive damage or structural issues within the mouth. In such cases, alternative treatments like  crowns, veneers, implants, or orthodontic solutions such as ClearCorrect may be recommended.

At Padstow Dental, we customize each bonding treatment to suit your specific needs and aesthetic goals. With proper care, composite bonding can be a long-lasting solution, enhancing both the appearance and function of your teeth while boosting your confidence.
