Composite edge bonding is a transformational treatment used to improve the size, shape and colour of the teeth.
At Face Teeth Smile in Chalfont St Peter, we perform composite edge bonding by expertly applying a tooth-coloured resin onto the tooth. It can cover the whole tooth as a veneer or be focused on parts of the tooth, in a process called ‘edge bonding’. Special materials are used to make the join between the composite and the natural tooth invisible. Once placed, the resin is meticulously sculpted and polished.
Usually, little or no drilling of the natural tooth is needed, so the procedure is normally pain-free. We start by discussing your aims and taking photos, videos and digital scans of your teeth, from which we carefully plan your dental bonding treatment. A ‘trial smile’ (where composite resin is temporarily place over your teeth) lets you try out, refine and approve the design. Your composite bonding is then completed in a single appointment. Afterwards, we’ll invite you back to our Chalfont St Peter clinic to capture your before-and-after and ensure you’re totally happy with the result.
At Face Teeth Smile, we tailor our composite edge bonding procedures to each patient’s unique needs. It’s a versatile treatment – it can be applied to individual teeth or used on all of your teeth to transform your smile.
At Face Teeth Smile in Chalfont St Peter, we recommend a package that combines composite edge bonding with Invisalign straightening if you have very crooked teeth. Cosmetic bonding can mask mild overcrowding, although it depends on the severity of the overlap. We’d assess this during your consultation and advise you on the best course of teeth bonding treatment to achieve your goals.
The composite resin we use for tooth bonding at our Chalfont St Peter clinic is softer than porcelain, so it carries the risk of chipping, staining or debonding. These can all be easily repaired, repolished or replaced, however.
You can make lifestyle choices to keep dental bonding in good condition for longer. Cutting out tea, coffee, red wine or smoking will minimise staining, while avoiding biting your nails or chewing hard objects like ice or pens can reduce chipping. Following a Face Teeth Smile maintenance plan will help extend the life of your composite edge bonding.
To achieve the very best result, at Face Teeth Smile we do recommend whitening first and have included it in the composite edge bonding packages available at our Chalfont St Peter, Gerrards Cross practice.
