What Is Composite Bonding?

Dental bonding, also known as composite bonding is a procedure in which a tooth-coloured resin material (made of durable plastic) is applied to the tooth and hardened using a special light. This bonds the material to the tooth to restore a smile.  

The colour is carefully chosen to match the surrounding teeth. The resin is shaped and polished to produce the desired smile appearance of the patient. This method is suitable for correcting aesthetic flaws or damaged teeth.

When Do I Need Composite Bonding?

There are a few issues that can be fixed with dental bonding, such as:

  • Treating diastema (Gapped Teeth)
  • Discoloured Teeth
  • Crooked or uneven teeth
  • Worn teeth
  • Peg Tooth (Microdontia)
  • Reshaping teeth 
  • Protecting exposed tooth roots due to gum recession
 

Composite Bonding for Crooked Teeth

Composite Bonding can help to improve the appearance of slightly crooked teeth. Your dentist will add resin in strategic places to hide or mascarade misaligned teeth. This will help to improve the overall appearance of your smile. 

However, only minor tooth misalignment can be rectified with dental bonding. Severely misaligned teeth will require teeth straightening treatment, prior to composite bonding.

Composite Bonding to Close Gaps

Composite bonding works brilliantly for closing small gaps between teeth. Your dentist will place the composite resin on the teeth, closing the gaps between them or making them more discrete if closing them completely is not possible. 

Similar to misalignment, your dentist may consider an orthodontic treatment before going ahead with composite bonding. This will help to avoid disproportional or extremely big teeth.

Benefits Of Composite Bonding 

Composite bonding can provide a number of great benefits to patients looking to improve their smiles.

Here are some benefits:

It is a great option for those who may have chipped or broken teeth, gaps between their teeth, discolouration, or misshapen teeth.

Composite bonding can help to restore the natural shape of the tooth and make it look more aesthetically pleasing.

The procedure is also quick and easy, taking as little as one visit to complete, depending on the amount of work required.

The results are usually immediate and long-lasting, providing patients with a beautiful, natural-looking smile they can be proud of.

Composite Bonding Procedure 

Composite bonding is a straightforward and painless process that can be completed in just one visit to Oldbury Smile Spa. 

Preparation

Before starting the procedure, your dentist will discuss with you what the best solution is for your smile and then prepare your teeth. This may involve removing any existing decay, roughening the surface of the tooth, or reshaping it. 

Application & Application

Next, the composite material is applied to the surface of the tooth and sculpted into the desired shape. Then, the dentist will use a special curing light to harden and bond the material to the tooth. 

Polishing

Finally, your dentist may polish the composite to give it a natural and beautiful finish.
