What is Composite Bonding?

Also known as tooth bonding or dental bonding, composite bonding is the process used to fill in any chips, gaps, fractures or fix any discolouration of the tooth.

Composite resin is attached to the tooth to regain its original shape or colour. We are able to choose a colour of resin that will match your other teeth, so all of your teeth work in harmony to create a great aesthetic.

When carried out as a cosmetic procedure, composite bonding is not available on the NHS, however, we will carry it out as a private practice if you desire to get the treatment completed.

If you would like to get composite bonding Maidstone done, you can get it done with us here at Gabriel’s hill dental.

What Are The Benefits of Composite Bonding?

Composite bonding in Maidstone is a quick and effective way to change the appearance of your teeth. This is a great alternative to teeth whitening as it doesn’t take as many sessions and it requires less hassle on your behalf. Composite bonding Maidstone can be finished in just one session.

Unlike having crowns and veneers, composite bonding Maidstone is a non-invasive procedure, which doesn’t require one part of the tooth to be removed. With composite bonding Maidstone, the surface of the tooth only has to be roughened to help the resin bond, meaning part of your tooth is not permanently removed.

Composite bonding Maidstone is a much cheaper solution to crowns or veneers and will last 5-7 years.

Is Applying Composite Bonding Painful?

No. In fact, it is so painless that no anaesthesia needs to be used at all. There is no alteration to the natural tooth structure and no drilling is necessary.

The composite resin is applied to the clean surface of the tooth and once bonded, a gentle polish will be performed.

What Is The Process of Composite Bonding?

1- Your dentist will choose a resin colour that matches the colour of your teeth

2- Your teeth will be slightly roughened so that the resin can easily be attached to the tooth

3- Your tooth will be coated in a liquid that helps the resin to adhere properly

4- The resin will be applied and smoothed to the desired shape

5- A UV light will harden the resin while your dentist makes the last changes to the shape of the resin to the desired look

How Can I Maintain My Composite Bonding at Home?

To reduce the chances of your composite bonded tooth becoming stained, you can follow our tips:

  • Avoid tea, coffee, smoking and food which may stain for 48 hours after having the procedure done.
  • Brush your teeth twice daily for 2 minutes
  • Visit the dentist as regularly as they suggest to ensure your composite bond teeth stay unstained
  • Avoid biting nails and chewing items such as pens as they may chip the resin.
