Composite Bonding Uxbridge

Composite bonding, sometimes called dental bonding, involves a relatively simple process in which a tooth-coloured resin is applied to the surface of the teeth, carefully shaped, hardened with a special light, and polished to create a smooth, natural finish.

Composite bonding can help treat:

• Chipped teeth
• Cracked teeth
• Small gaps between teeth
• Crooked or uneven teeth
• Worn tooth edges
• Discolouration and staining

Why Choose Composite Bonding?

The main reason patients in Uxbridge choose composite bonding are for immediate cosmetic improvement to their smile.

Some of the other benefits include:

• Usually completed in a single visit
• Minimal discomfort
• No injections or anaesthetic in most cases
• Natural-looking results
• Costs less than porcelain veneers
• Improved self-confidence and smile appearance

At Face Teeth Smile, we follow a simple yet effective treatment plan for composite bonding.

 As with all of our treatments, we will start with a consultation at our dental practice.

During the consultation, we will:

• Examine your teeth and gums
• Discuss your goals
• Explain the most suitable treatment options
• Answer your questions

Once completed, if cosmetic bonding is the right option, we will:

1. Prepare the tooth surface
2. Applying composite resin in layers
3. Shaping and polishing the material

Once all the resin has been shaped, some final touches will be made to ensure everything looks natural, and the colour is perfect, too.

What If Composite Bonding Isn’t Right?

Well, if composite bonding is not the best solution for you, we may advise alternatives such as:

• Teeth whitening
• Invisalign
• Veneers

Our dental professionals will always recommend the treatment that best suits your oral health and desired results. Obviously, a dental hygienist providing teeth whitening isn’t going to help with chipped teeth, but it will improve discolouration. While, the Invisalign procedure could be the solution your mouth needs if you have cluttered teeth.

With good care, composite bonding can last for many years, although it may require maintenance after a few years depending on eating habits, staining and wear. Routine checkups with your dentist and hygienist will help keep your smile looking its best.

To protect your bonding, we recommend:

• Brushing twice daily
• Using good oral hygiene habits
• Attending routine dental appointments
• Avoiding biting very hard objects
• Limiting foods and drinks that cause staining

One of the advantages of composite bonding is that you aren’t expected to do anything out of the ordinary to maintain them. By following standard procedures, as advised by our professionals, you can enjoy the confident smile makeover you have undergone.
