Composite Bonding

Transform your smile with composite bonding in Telford

Are you looking to enhance your smile with a non-invasive and affordable solution? Composite bonding is the perfect solution for minor chips, cracks, or discolouration. In just one visit, we can reshape, recolour, and revitalise your teeth. Composite bonding might be the perfect option for you. Discover what composite bonding is, its advantages, and the few considerations to keep in mind.

 

What is composite bonding?

Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves the application of a tooth-coloured resin material to your teeth. This material is skilfully shaped and polished by our expert dentists, improving the appearance of your teeth, and creating a more harmonious, natural look. It’s a versatile technique that can address various dental imperfections.

For any light damage to your front teeth or contouring your bite surfaces on the back teeth, we can use composite bonding to rebuild teeth. Composite is a special dental resin made from a combination of plastic and glass. It can perfectly mimic tooth enamel and we can colour-match it to your tooth colour, so it looks just like your tooth.

Composite can be built directly on your tooth, so there is no need to strip away a layer of enamel. Bonding requires a degree of skill to accurately build up the shape of a tooth from scratch, and we have restorative dentistry experts who make it appear as if there was no damage in the first place.

 

Why have composite bonding?

 

Benefits of composite bonding

Natural-looking results: Composite resin mimics the natural colour and translucency of your teeth, delivering aesthetically pleasing results that blend seamlessly with your smile.

Non-invasive: Unlike some other cosmetic treatments, composite bonding doesn’t require the removal of healthy tooth structure. It’s a conservative approach that preserves your natural teeth.

Quick and convenient: In most cases, composite bonding can be completed in a single appointment, saving you time, and reducing the need for multiple visits to the dentist.

Versatile: Composite bonding can be used to address a wide range of dental issues, including chipped teeth, gaps, discoloration, and misshapen teeth.

Minimal discomfort: Patients typically experience little to no pain during the procedure, and there’s no downtime for recovery.

Cost-effective: Compared to other cosmetic dental treatments, composite bonding is an affordable option for improving your smile.

 

Why choose Station House Dental Practice?

 

What does the process of composite bonding involve?


Step One: Consultation – We will discuss your goals and expectations, and examine your teeth and gums to ensure you are a good candidate for composite bonding.

Step Two: Tooth Preparation – We dry the tooth and prepare the surface with a special acidic gel. This creates a rough surface for the composite to properly bond to.

Step Three: Composite Resin Application – We apply the composite in layers, gradually building up the shape.

Step Four: Curing – Using a blue light, we harden the resin in its desired shape.

Step Five: Final shaping and polishing – We then polish the composite, so it looks just like a natural tooth.

Step Six: Final check – We will check your bite and make any necessary adjustments.

 

Finance options available

We are pleased to offer flexible payment options to help spread the cost of your dental treatment. Interest-free finance is available, subject to status.

 

What else do I need to know?

Composite is invulnerable to bacteria and decay, but the natural tooth underneath isn’t. Great oral hygiene at home will keep your tooth lasting for as long as possible. You may require maintenance on these restorations, particularly if you like to drink tea or coffee or enjoy other food and drinks that stain your teeth. This can easily be monitored at your regular check-ups.
