COMPOSITE BONDING AT SMILE TAILOR, CITY OF LONDON

Composite bonding, sometimes known as tooth bonding or dental bonding, is the perfect treatment option for correcting minor gaps, chips, and decaying, or discoloured teeth.

This treatment involves moulding and smoothing a composite resin to your tooth (or teeth) that restores the original shape and appearance. The resin is colour matched to your surrounding teeth, (or to a shade you choose), resulting in a perfect, natural, bright smile.

Benefits of Composite Bonding

1

More Attractive Smile

There is no doubt about it, correcting those minor imperfections can give you the picture-perfect smile. Attractive, white, aligned teeth improve your appearance and boost your confidence. The results of composite bonding are very impressive indeed.
2

Painless Procedure

For those of you who are a little needle-shy, composite bonding could be the treatment for you. Composite bonding does not usually require a local anaesthetic and is a very quick and painless procedure.
3

Fast and effective

Composite bonding is an extremely quick and effective treatment for minor imperfections and can usually be carried out in just one visit to the dentist. After the resin has been applied, moulded, and smoothed it is fixed or hardened using a curing light resulting in the perfect bite immediately.
4

Non-invasive

In comparison to alternative treatments, such as crowns or veneers, whereby part of the tooth is permanently removed or damaged, composite bonding maintains the structure of the underlying tooth. Thus, composite bonding is a minimally invasive, conservative treatment perfect for correcting minor imperfections.

Long-Lasting Effect:

In general, composite bonding lasts for around five years, sometimes longer.

Composite bonding on the back or sides of the teeth tends to last longer than the front teeth, simply because of wear and tear.

The strength of the underlying natural teeth also plays a role in the longevity of composite bonding. Good dental hygiene and avoiding certain habits, such as smoking, or food and drinks that stain teeth such as red wine, curry, coffee, and tea, can also prolong the lifespan of the bonding material. In general, however, the composite resin is a resilient, durable, material that will last for many years.
