We are in a new era of authenticity when it comes to cosmetic procedures and enhancing your natural smile is one of them.
Moving away from invasive and expensive dental treatments towards subtle enhancements to keep your smile still unique to you is the way forward.
At Cheslyn Hay Dental Practice, we offer composite bonding to enhance your natural smile, giving subtle, beautiful results.
What is composite bonding?
Composite bonding is a non-invasive procedure which involves the application of a tooth-coloured resin to the teeth to repair, reshape or enhance their appearance.
How does composite bonding work?
Following a consultation with your dentist, you may decide to undergo teeth whitening before the composite bonding is applied.
This will lift the teeth to the preferred colour through clinically tested whitening gels and usually takes between one to three weeks to get results.
Once you are happy with the colour of your teeth, the composite bonding can be applied.
Step 1: Preparation
The tooth is gently etched to create texture before a conditioning liquid is applied to make the surface smooth.
This step ensures the bonding material will latch securely to the tooth.
Step 2: Application
The composite resin is carefully layered onto the tooth before being shaped and sculpted to achieve the desired look.
Step 3: Curing
This is the process of hardening the soft resin and is completed by using a curing light.
The light is held close to the tooth for ten to forty seconds, so the composite turns hard and strong.
Step 4: Polishing
This final step allows your dental practitioner to refine the shape of your teeth.
They will remove any rough edges or uneven surfaces to make sure that the composite blends naturally with your surrounding teeth.
How long does it take and at what cost?
The procedure is quick and non-invasive, with the treatment completed in just one single session.
The cost of the treatment will vary depending on the amount of teeth bonding is applied to.

So why are they so popular?
The popularity of composite bonding comes from its minimally invasive and conservative nature.
Unlike veneers, no enamel is removed from the tooth, so the procedure is also reversible.
With proper care, they can last from three-seven years and are easy to adjust or repair.
A move to natural beauty….
Beauty standards are shifting, with a demand for authenticity over perfection.
People once chased flawlessness but now instead celebrate their uniqueness.
The subtle enhancement of composite bonding is appealing to those wanting to improve the shape, colour and alignment of their teeth whilst still celebrating their individuality.
