The facts

The facts about Composite Bonding

What is Composite Bonding?

Composite bonding, also known as dental bonding, is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to enhance the appearance of your teeth. This minimally invasive treatment uses a tooth-colored composite resin material to repair and improve various dental imperfections, such as chips, cracks, discoloration, and minor misalignments. Its comes in a variety of different shades and can be sculpted to any desired shape before setting with a blue light to make it bond with the tooth. This can then be polished so it blends in seamlessly onto your teeth and is so versatile that it can be used from anything from simple repairs of broken teeth to more comprehensive rehabilitations and veneers. Composite bonding is a popular choice for those seeking a quick, cost-effective way to achieve a brighter, more attractive smile.

Composite Bonding Process

The composite bonding process involves several steps aimed at improving the appearance of teeth by using a tooth-colored composite resin material. Here is a detailed outline of the typical procedure:

Initial Consultation

Assessment: Your dentist will examine your teeth to determine if composite bonding is suitable for your needs.

Discussion: You'll discuss your goals and expectations for the procedure, and any concerns you may have will be addressed.

Treatment Planning

Color Matching: The dentist selects a shade of composite resin that closely matches the color of your natural teeth.

Preparation: Minimal preparation of the tooth surface may be necessary, depending on the specific issue being addressed (e.g., polishing or slight etching).

Application of Composite Resin

Bonding Procedure: The following steps are involved in applying the composite resin:

  • Bonding Material: The dentist applies the tooth-colored composite resin to the tooth in layers.
  • Shaping and Molding: Each layer is carefully shaped and molded to achieve the desired contour and appearance.
  • Curing: A special light (usually a blue LED light) is used to harden or cure each layer of the composite resin. This makes it durable and strong.

Sculpting and Shaping

Artistic Touch: The dentist sculpts and shapes the hardened composite resin to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Smoothing: After shaping, the surface of the composite resin is polished to ensure a smooth and natural finish.

Final Adjustments

Checking Alignment: The dentist checks the alignment and bite to ensure the bonded tooth fits naturally with your adjacent teeth.

Fine-tuning: Any final adjustments may be made to perfect the appearance and functionality of the bonded tooth.

Completion

Final Inspection: The dentist evaluates the final result to ensure it meets your expectations and functions properly.

Aftercare Instructions: You'll receive instructions on how to care for your bonded teeth and any precautions to take.

Composite bonding is a versatile cosmetic dental procedure that can address various aesthetic concerns effectively. Consult with your dentist to determine if composite bonding is the right option for achieving your desired smile improvements.

Q
When is composite bonding appropriate?

Composite bonding is very versatile and is commonly used for restoring teeth that are:

  • Chipped
  • Fractured
  • Broken
  • Worn
  • In need of a filling after removal of decay
  • To close small gaps between teeth and in between the gum and tooth
  • Shorter and in need of lengthening

It is also used for composite veneers, for smile makeovers building up worn out canines, making corrections to an improper bite and as a temporary measure to assess aesthetics and functionality prior to more complex treatments using porcelain crowns and veneers.

Q
What are the benefits of Composite bonding?

Composite bonding has numerous advantages such as:

-       It can usually be carried out in just one visitand hence is a fast and effective solution to restore teeth.

-       It is a minimally invasive procedure and oftenrequires no removal of healthy tooth structure.

-       It can make cosmetic improvements to your smilequickly, without causing further damage to your teeth.

-       In the right circumstances composite bonding canbe a cheaper alternative to crowns or veneers.

-       With good oral hygiene, diet and maintenance,your composites should last for years.

-       It is easily to repair and maintain

-       Composite comes in different shades and blendsinto teeth making the join very seamless and the appearance very natural

Q
What are the disadvantages of composite bonding?

Composite needs to be maintained, repaired and polished more frequently than other alternatives such as porcelain and Zirconia.

It may chip, break, wear and discolour over time and require repairs, re-polishing or resurfacing every so often. These repairs are however fairly easy and cost effective to do.

The lustre and aesthetics of composite are excellent but may not be able to reach the levels of the highest quality porcelain.

Q
Can composite bonding work with teeth whitening?

Yes it certainly can and we very commonly use both to help enhance a persons smile. The whitening process would always take place first to help us achieve a brighter, whiter smile. We would then wait for approximately 2 weeks post whitening to allow the teeth to stabilised before carrying out the composite to change the shape, size, length of the teeth to complete the rehabilitation of your smile.
