what is composite bonding ?
Composite bonding, also known as dental bonding, is a versatile cosmetic dental procedure that applies a tooth-colored composite resin to repair, reshape, or enhance the aesthetics of your teeth. This technique effectively addresses a wide range of dental imperfections, including:
Chipped or Cracked Teeth: Composite bonding restores the shape and integrity of damaged teeth, providing a natural and seamless appearance. Consequently, it helps bring back the strength and structure of your teeth.
Discolored or Stained Teeth: The resin is carefully color-matched to your existing teeth, effectively concealing discoloration and significantly improving the overall look. As a result, your smile becomes brighter and more uniform.
Gaps Between Teeth: Bonding is an excellent solution for filling in gaps or spaces between teeth, helping to create a more balanced and attractive smile. This treatment ensures that your teeth appear more aligned and cohesive.
Misshapen Teeth: The procedure can also reshape teeth to achieve a more uniform and harmonious smile. This transformation enhances both the symmetry and aesthetics of your teeth.
Therefore, composite bonding offers a non-invasive solution that enhances both the function and appearance of your smile, providing immediate and noticeable results.

The Composite Bonding teeth Procedure
The composite bonding procedure is straightforward and typically completed in a single dental visit. Here’s what you can expect during your appointment:
Initial Consultation: Our dental professionals will begin by conducting a thorough examination of your teeth which will include a scan with our Itero machine to get a 3D look of your teeth and discussing your aesthetic goals. We will assess your oral health to determine whether composite bonding is the right option for you based on your expectations.
Preparation: We use Smile fast lab which will create a 2D and 3D imagine of your new smile so that the outcome is more predictable and you can see what your new smile will be like. Once that is approved they will provide a trail smile so that you can see and feel how your new smile will be.
Application of Composite Resin: We will carefully apply the composite resin, which comes in various shades to match your natural tooth colour or in most cases if you have gone through teeth whitening to match the new shade. Our skilled dentist will then apply the stent to your teeth and fill with with the composite resin to achieve the desired appearance.
Curing: We will use a special light to harden the composite material, ensuring a durable and long-lasting result.
Finishing Touches: Once the resin has hardened, our dental team will polish the bonded area to create a smooth, seamless finish that blends perfectly with your natural teeth.
Through this process, you can achieve an enhanced smile with minimal discomfort and recovery time.

Care and Maintenance of Composite Bonding
To ensure the longevity of your composite bonding, follow these key oral hygiene practices:
Regular Brushing and Flossing: Brush your teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and floss regularly to maintain a healthy mouth.
Avoiding Staining Substances: While composite materials resist staining, it’s best to limit your consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, beetroot, curry and tobacco. Doing so will help preserve the appearance of your bonding.
Regular Dental Check-Ups: Schedule routine dental exams and cleanings to monitor both the condition of your bonded teeth and your overall oral health.
By maintaining these habits, you can maximize the longevity and appearance of your composite bonding.
