Composite Bonding to Restore Teeth

Composite bonding, also known as cosmetic bonding, is a very effective treatment used to repair damaged teeth. This treatment is simple, quick and affordable, yet it can make a massive difference to the look of your smile. If you’ve put up with chipped or worn teeth for too long, now is the perfect time to call us and find out more about composite bonding.

What is composite bonding?

Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that also has restorative benefits for your teeth. Dental composite is used to repair damaged teeth. In its putty-like form, it can be shaped and moulded to repair chipped teeth, build-up worn tooth surfaces and even close the gap between two teeth. Our dentists will use their creative flair and experience to create amazing results using dental composite and once you are happy with the look of your new smile, the composite will be hardened before final touches are made. Before bonding, your dentist will clean the affected teeth, roughen the edges and apply resin and bonding agent to ensure that the composite will bond properly. The composite is then added and it is set hard using a curing light. After final adjustments have been made, your dentist will give your teeth a polish to ensure you leave with a gleaming smile. Composite bonding usually takes less than an hour and only a single appointment is required; the procedure is painless and most patients do not require local anaesthetic.

Who can benefit from composite bonding?

Composite bonding is an ideal treatment for patients who have chipped teeth, worn teeth or a small gap between two of their teeth; this is a more affordable option than veneers and it is also quicker and more straight-forward.

What is cosmetic bonding?

Cosmetic bonding is also known as composite bonding, and it is an effective procedure that involves using dental composite to fix damaged teeth and improve the overall aesthetic of the smile. Composite is a tooth-coloured putty-like material, which can be set using a powerful light source. It is also used for white fillings. Bonding is most commonly used to rebuild chipped teeth, but it can also be an effective solution for patients with worn teeth and spaces between their teeth.

This process is quick and painless, and all you need to do is pop on a pair of goggles to protect your eyes from the light. Once the composite is hard and any final adjustments have been made, you can take a look at your new smile! Often, even the simplest and most minor changes to the individual teeth can make an amazing difference to the overall look of the smile and you can get ready to smile with confidence again.

What is cosmetic bonding?

Cosmetic bonding is a procedure designed to correct minor aesthetic issues with the teeth, such as chips and worn edges, misshapen teeth and small gaps between the teeth. Bonding only takes an hour and it can really make a difference to the look of your smile. Bonding treatment involves using a versatile dental material known as dental composite to carry out minor repairs to the teeth and create a more attractive overall aesthetic. Dental composite is tooth-coloured and comes in lots if different shades. Your dentist will select the closest match to your natural tooth shade for a seamless finish. Bonding involves shaping and placing dental composite to build up worn edges, improve the shape of the teeth and repair chips. Your dentist will carefully position the composite and then mould it to create the desired effect. At room temperature, composite is soft and malleable and once it is in the right place, your dentist will then shine a curing light onto your teeth to set the composite. Although dental composite is not as strong as tooth enamel, it is durable and hard-wearing.

Is cosmetic bonding for me?

If you have a few issues here and there and are eager to smarten up your smile without spending a lot of money or time in the dental chair, cosmetic bonding could be the ideal solution for you. Even though the changes seem fairly minor, the overall transformation is incredibly impressive, especially as treatment takes just one hour.

How Composite Bonding Can Help Chipped or Cracked Teeth

A person’s teeth can end up chipped or cracked for many different reasons varying from involuntary teeth-grinding (bruxism), accidental injuries, and even a severe build up of tooth decay. In the event that a tooth does become chipped or cracked it is possible to look into composite bonding to help correct the damage.

What is composite bonding?

Composite bonding is the procedure in which a dentist repairs a fractured, chipped, cracked or discoloured tooth, using special tooth-coloured resins so as to blend perfectly with the rest of the patient’s teeth.

How is composite bonding treatment carried out?

Composite bonding is a simple procedure and unless the chip or crack in the tooth has been caused by tooth decay, anaesthesia won’t even be necessary.  Firstly, and to ensure that the tooth-coloured composite blends in perfectly with the chipped tooth, the dentist uses a shade guide, finding the best possible match. When this matching colour has been chosen the next step is for the dentist to prepare the tooth for bonding by making the surface of the tooth in question rough and abrasive. A conditioning liquid is then applied onto the tooth to ensure that the composite bonding material will stick. Next comes the most important part, applying the bonding material. This resin is treated much like clay, being moulded and smoothed until it has formed the perfect shape. Once this has been perfected the resin is then hardened into position using either ultraviolet lights or lasers. Once hardened, the bonding material is further shaped, trimmed and finally polished so that it matches the colour of the rest of the teeth.We carry out such treatment at Clifton Dental Studio in Bristol so do contact us if you would like more advice or information.

Repair Chipped Teeth with Composite Bonding

What is composite bonding?

Composite bonding, also known as cosmetic bonding, is a commonly used dental procedure and an excellent option for patients with chipped or worn teeth. In this procedure, the dentist uses their experience and skill to shape soft dental composite to repair chips and increase the bulk of tooth structure on worn surfaces to enhance the aesthetic of the smile. During the first stage of treatment, the composite is soft and this enables your dentist to mould it. Once the composite is in the right place, your dentist will then use a curing light to harden it and the tooth will be stronger, as well as looking more aesthetically pleasing. Bonding generally takes less than an hour, there is no pain and therefore no injections and the results are amazing. Even the smallest chip in the tooth can make you feel self-conscious about the look of your smile and chips can also increase the risk of further damage to the tooth. With bonding, the tooth becomes stronger and your smile looks gorgeous and healthy. Bonding can also be used to reduce the size of a gap between two teeth.

Is cosmetic bonding the best option?

There are other options available for chipped and worn teeth, such as veneers and other restorative treatments. However, in cases where the damage is minor and patients are looking for a quick solution, this treatment is often the best choice. If you have chipped or worn teeth, call our friendly reception team today and we can arrange a consultation to go through the different treatment options with you.

Porcelain Veneers vs. Cosmetic Bonding

If your smile has minor cosmetic flaws that affect your confidence, there are various dental procedures out there that can help. Two of our most effective and popular cosmetic treatments include porcelain veneers and cosmetic bonding, but which is best and what are the pros and cons?

About porcelain veneers

Porcelain veneers have an outstanding reputation for creating dazzling, beautiful smiles and are a popular choice with celebrities. Porcelain veneers are tooth-shaped shells made from high grade porcelain. They are placed onto the teeth to produce a brand new look and should last for several years. Porcelain is used because it looks similar to natural, radiant teeth. It is also durable and has a lovely iridescent finish that really makes your smile sparkle. Veneers are an effective solution for gaps between the teeth, worn or uneven teeth and staining.

Cosmetic bonding

Cosmetic bonding is a single session procedure that takes just one hour to repair and reshape the teeth, creating a more attractive, healthier looking smile. This procedure involves using dental composite to improve the shape of individual teeth and enhance the overall look of the smile. Your dentist will shape the composite to adjust the aesthetic of the individual teeth, smoothing out rough and uneven edges, building up surfaces, filling in chips and closing gaps between the teeth. Once the composite is in the right place, it is set using a curing light. Treatment only takes around an hour, you’ll be able to enjoy the results straight away and the structure of your teeth will remain intact.

About cosmetic bonding

Cosmetic bonding is an aesthetic procedure designed to reshape and repair the teeth using a material called dental composite. Composite has a putty like consistency at room temperature and it comes in an array of shades designed to match natural tooth shades. Your dentist will use their skill to place the composite onto the individual teeth and shape it to address problems such as uneven and worn surfaces, jagged edges, chips and gaps between the teeth. Once the composite is in the right place and your dentist is happy with the new aesthetic, they will shine a curing light onto the material and this sets it. Once the composite has set, you won’t be able to tell the difference between the natural tooth structure and the composite.

We'll Help You Say Goodbye to Gaps!

If you have unsightly spaces between your teeth or you have gaps in your smile as a result of an accident, injury or gum disease, we have the solutions to help you say goodbye to gaps for good.

Gaps in the smile

Missing teeth can create all kinds of problems, from an increased risk of dental disease and tooth movement to problems with eating and speech. If you have missing teeth, we strongly recommend looking into tooth replacement options. Replacing teeth helps to create a more attractive smile, which will make you feel more confident, and you will find it easier to eat and speak clearly. We have various tooth replacement treatments on offer, including dentures, dental bridges and dental implants. Dental bridges are a popular option for single teeth, while dentures are an excellent choice for full sets of missing teeth. Implants are the most versatile option, as they are compatible with dentures, bridges and crowns. This means that they can be used for single or multiple missing teeth.

Closing spaces between the teeth

If you have gaps between your teeth, there are various options open to you, including orthodontic treatment, veneers and cosmetic bonding. Orthodontic treatment is the only option that physically moves the teeth and reduces the size of the gap. However, if you have a single gap or you only have small gaps and don’t want to have intensive orthodontic treatment, cosmetic bonding may be a viable option. This procedure uses dental composite to reduce the visible size of a gap by building up tooth-coloured material between the teeth. Bonding only takes an hour and is more affordable than braces and veneers. Veneers may be a good option if you have several gaps and you also want to address aesthetic flaws such as worn and stained teeth. If you’re keen to say goodbye to gaps, call us now to discuss your treatment options.

What is dental bonding and what does treatment entail?

Cosmetic bonding is a popular cosmetic dental treatment that provides an aesthetic solution for problems such as worn and misshapen teeth, small spaces between the teeth and chipped edges. The procedure uses dental composite, a tooth-coloured material, to modify the appearance of individual teeth. The changes are usually only minor, but the overall impact after treatment is complete is amazing. During the dental bonding procedure, your dentist will use their skill and creativity to shape and craft the composite to achieve the desired result. Your dentist will help you select a shade of composite that matches your natural teeth and then mould it while it is soft at room temperature. Once your dentist is happy with the new aesthetic, they will shine a light onto the teeth for a short period of time. This sets the composite and makes it hard. Cosmetic bonding is not uncomfortable, so you won’t need any anaesthetic beforehand and you can see the amazing results straight after treatment.
