Here at Earley Dental Practice, we’re big fans of composite bonding for restoring unsightly teeth.

This minimally-invasive cosmetic treatment is excellent for addressing individual teeth that might have sustained a chip, or crack stain or that require re-shaping and remodelling.

What is composite bonding?

Composite bonding uses thin sheets of composite resin to build up, shape and give a healthier shade to a tooth. The beauty of this treatment is that we’re able to produce a highly accurate result, as the layers are added gradually, which gives us the opportunity to be incredibly diligent with the process. It also means you can expect a really authentic-looking end result that looks like it’s actually your own whole natural tooth.

Composite bonding is often compared to veneers, as it addresses a lot of the same cosmetic defects. Whilst it’s not as long-lasting, it is a less invasive process and can be carried out in fewer appointments – ideal for patients looking for a simple solution to aesthetic defects with their teeth.

What can I expect from the composite bonding process?

Composite bonding can be carried out in a single appointment, and involves the following steps:

  • Examination of the teeth that require attention. We will make sure there are no underlying problems such as decay, which will need attention before any cosmetic treatment is carried out.
  • Preparation of the tooth by roughening the area, so the composite resin layers can be applied and sculpted to the given tooth.
  • A UV light is used to harden the resin, and the tooth is polished to give the natural-looking finish of real tooth enamel.

What makes composite bonding great?

  • Superb cosmetic result.
  • Straight forward treatment with no drilling or anaesthetic involved.
  • Preserves most (if not all) of your natural tooth structure.
  • With the right oral care and maintenance, the results of composite bonding can last for an average of between 5-7 years.
  • Allows for careful planning and therefore a highly predictable outcome.
