Composite Maintenance is designed to repair and preserve the composite bonding treatment that is so effective at improving the shape, size and colour of your natural teeth.
At Face Teeth Smile in Chalfont St Peter, we offer Smile Maintenance to preserve the composite resin that can, over time and depending on your lifestyle, become stained or chipped.
At Face Teeth Smile dentistry, we believe in supporting our patients long after their initial treatment is finished. That’s why we offer Smile Maintenance to extend the life of your composite bonding and keep it looking the very best it can.
During composite veneers maintenance at our Chalfont St Peter location, we’ll assess your smile and tackle any staining that’s built up. We carry out a comprehensive air polish using a mixture of polishing powder and water. This thoroughly cleans and brightens the composite material as well as the surrounding teeth. We’ll also check for any chipping or general wear and tear, and repair that.
For your convenience, we can schedule Smile Maintenance along with your regular check-up and carry out both in one session.
At Face Teeth Smile, as part of Smile Maintenance, we recommend regular whitening after bonding – the whiter the natural teeth, the whiter the composite bonding appears. Although the resin used in composite bonding can be stained by food, drink or cigarette smoke, it doesn’t change colour. Stains can be simply removed by polishing. As the material has some characteristics of glass, it reflects the colour of the natural tooth beneath or surrounding it.
No, during Smile Maintenance at our Chalfont St Peter practice, polishing is carried out expertly and gently to remove stains without removing composite material or changing your normal teeth smile.
Composite veneers maintenance treatment is not normally needed for porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers aren’t made from the same material as the resin used during composite bonding. Porcelain is stronger, less prone to staining and doesn’t need this type of polishing to maintain normal smile teeth. Regular dental check-ups and hygiene sessions are all we recommend at Face Teeth Smile to keep your porcelain veneers looking their best.
If you’re a smoker or enjoy foods and drinks (like coffee or red wine) that lead to staining, you might find you need to book more than two sessions in a year for composite veneers maintenance with our Chalfont St Peter dental practice. Additional treatments may also be needed if you grind your teeth, which leads to more severe wear and tear.
