Composite Bonding Petersfield
This innovative treatment option will allow you to address small imperfections with ease.
Introduction to Composite Bonding
Composite bonding is an innovative treatment option that uses the same composite resin used for white fillings to restore the teeth. This soft material is applied directly to the tooth before it is shaped and then hardened with UV light. The treatment is completed in just one visit and is minimally invasive to the underlying tooth surface. We don’t have to remove any of the enamel to achieve this restoration, so the underlying tooth structure is completely preserved.
Composite bonding is commonly used to address issues like small gaps, chips, cracks, discolouration, uneven edges, thinning enamel, short teeth and minor rotations. It’s the fastest way to address minor imperfections and the perfect accompaniment to treatments to orthodontics to help deliver complete perfection.
Benefits of Composite Bonding
The main reason that patients love this treatment is the speed. Small changes can make a big impact on your smile, and these changes could happen in just one visit. There’s no waiting around for porcelain crowns or veneers to be created. We can colour match the composite resin and apply it in one visit. It also allows the dentist to design the restoration with the rest of the teeth and the facial features in mind. This level of flexibility can lead to far more natural-looking restorations. The composite resin will not break away or chip, but instead it will wear down over time. The treatment typically lasts for around 5 years before you’ll need to decide to replace it or explore another treatment option such as veneers.
Differences Between Composite Bonding And Composite Veneers
With composite bonding, we are typically just looking at a single tooth area, and with composite veneers, we apply the material to the front teeth that are visible when you smile. For a full smile transformation, we would recommend composite veneers. And for minor imperfections that might be impacting your confidence, you could have composite bonding treatment on a single tooth. Both treatments use composite resin which is colour-matched to your surrounding teeth and then applied directly to the tooth.
Composite veneers are commonly shaped with the help of a mould that fits over your teeth, while your dentist will apply composite resin directly and then shape it according to your preferences. If you’re not sure which treatment is right for you, book an appointment with our cosmetic dental team.
