Enhance your smile with composite bonding in Walsall & Cannock

Composite Bonding for Correcting Chipped, Gapped and Uneven Teeth

Composite bonding is a flexible, non-invasive cosmetic dental procedure that uses a tooth-coloured resin to repair, reshape and enhance the appearance of your teeth, without requiring major extractions, fillings or orthodontics. Whether your smile is dampened by chipped, uneven or gapped teeth, our dental bonding treatment can restore your confidence in the way you look. Long-time patients and those new to our practice are both welcome to get in contact to book an appointment with our specialist dentists now.

How Does Composite Teeth Bonding Work?

The process behind composite bonding is actually very straightforward, which makes it a great treatment choice for particularly nervous patients. Here’s what you can expect from your procedure with Cheslyn Hay Dental Practice:

1. Preparation: The tooth surface is gently etched, and a conditioning liquid is applied to create a smooth bonding location for the resin.

2. Application: The composite resin bonding to your teeth is carefully layered, then shaped and sculpted to achieve the desired look for each tooth.

3. Curing: Using a specialised curing light, the resin is then hardened and secured to your tooth’s surface – thus filling any gaps, uneven sections or chips in your smile.

4. Polishing: To guarantee a natural finish, the bonded tooth is polished to match the look and finish of your surrounding teeth.

The Benefits of Composite Bonding

1. Quick and minimally invasive

Unlike other procedures used to treat imperfections like chips and gaps in your teeth edges such as dental crowns and porcelain veneers, composite bonding requires little to no removal of the natural tooth structure. This ensures the procedure is minimally invasive, and doesn’t require your tooth coming into contact with any nasty drills or scrapers.

2. Affordable and long-lasting

Compared to many other cosmetic dentistry procedures, composite bonding is generally cheaper despite being just as effective. This makes it a useful treatment for those looking to enhance their smile on a budget. In fact, in most cases, the teeth bonding process can be completed in a single appointment.

3. Stain resistant

The composite resin used in this treatment is able to resist staining to some degree, which means you can enjoy all your favourite food and beverages which are common offenders for staining teeth such as coffee, tea, fruit juices, fizzy drinks and more. Of course, we still recommend proper dental hygiene upkeep and routine examinations also for good measure.

4. Easy to adjust or repair

Despite your composite bonding treatment likely to last for well over 5 years, the upkeep of this treatment is relatively simple and cost-effective. Which means, if necessary, your dental composite bonding can be modified, repaired or simply touched up over time.

An excellent practice, all the staff are very friendly and procedures are very thorough with detailed explanations. A refined system means very little waiting time, which altogether makes this a top tier service.

Composite Bonding vs Veneers

When it comes to enhancing your smile, composite bonding and veneers are two popular options. While both can achieve beautiful results, composite bonding offers unique advantages in terms of cost, convenience, and preserving your natural teeth.

Dental Bonding FAQs

How Long Does Composite Bonding Last?

With proper upkeep and good oral hygiene, your resin tooth bondings can last anywhere between 3 and 7 years on average. We’d also recommend regular dental checkups to maximise the lifespan of your bonded teeth.

Can You Whiten Composite Bonded Teeth?

Standard dental or at-home teeth whitening treatments will not work on composite bonded teeth because the resin behaves and reacts differently to natural tooth enamel. If your teeth are in need of brightening after the treatment, we can provide touch-up or replacement services using a whiter-shade of resin. We can also provide you with information regarding how to prevent staining in the future through improved oral hygiene.

Will Composite Bonding Work on Overlapping Teeth?

Both minor and major overlaps in your smile can be corrected using composite bonding, since the cured and hardened resin material can help to reshape and reposition any misalignments.

Is Dental Bonding Reversible?

Dental bonding is considered a more conservative treatment due to the fact it is less permanent and more reversible than other procedures. Compared to options like veneers and crowns, the process of removing tooth bonding without inflicting any damage on your actual tooth structure is very simple.

Will the Composite Bonding Treatment Hurt or Damage my Teeth?

Not only do we aim to make this treatment as minimally invasive and pain-free, the treatment by nature is gentle and preserves as much of your original tooth structure as possible. No drilling, scraping or extensive prep work is required, which means you can enjoy a comfortable treatment experience with immediately impressive results.
