Composite Bonding Twickenham

This is one of the newest cosmetic treatments available, and it’s very popular with young adults looking to achieve a perfect smile. It’s also popular for those on a budget who are looking for a fast and cost-effective way to upgrade their smile. It’s perfect for patients with minor imperfections who don’t need extensive treatment, but who would benefit from a minimal intervention. We use a soft and pliable material that is applied directly to the tooth surface. We shape it as required before using UV light to harden the material. We can then refine the restoration before polishing it to perfection. It allows us to address small issues that might be impacting your confidence, such as gaps, chips, cracks, discolouration, thinning enamel or peg-like teeth. It’s commonly used after orthodontics to help achieve a more symmetrical smile.

You may come across a treatment called composite veneers during your research. This is an alternative to veneers treatment that uses composite resin injected into a mould that fits over your teeth. The result is a cost-effective alternative that can help to address many of the same issues that veneers can treat, but with a different material. The main differences can be found in the finish, with porcelain offering a more natural translucent look, while composite resin tends to look a little more opaque. Porcelain veneers will also last longer, with many patients enjoying them for 12-15 years before they need to be replaced. Composite veneers will last for around 5 years.
