What is Composite Bonding?

Composite bonding is a minimally invasive dental procedure to restore and rebuild teeth using a tooth-coloured composite material that bonds to the teeth (hence the name bonding). Bonding allows us to correct dental imperfections or improve the shape and appearance of your teeth by building on and enhancing your natural teeth. Composite bonding gives great results that are not just impressive but natural as composite blends in seamlessly with your own teeth without causing any damage to natural teeth.

We offer two types of composite bonding treatments :

✅  Composite Edge Bonding : composite is applied only to the edges

The dentist will discuss your options before the treatment and recommend what’s best for you based on your condition.

What is the Procedure for Dental Cosmetic Bonding in London?

The cosmetic bonding treatment involves the following steps :

  • Cleaning of a tooth (or teeth) surface to remove any debris or tartar accumulation
  • Preparation of tooth colour-matched composite material
  • Protecting the tooth and keeping it dry with cotton rolls or a rubber dam
  • Shaping and gently roughing the surface with a special tool which helps the composite resin bond to the tooth
  • Etching the tooth surface with a phosphoric-acid-based gel, to create the optimum composite bonding texture
  • The composite is then applied layer by layer by application of bonding agent and using a curing light to harden the material
  • Finally polishing and buffing the new composite surface, which creates a beautiful, natural, and realistic visual look

Even though the process is simple and widely used, it does require artistry and technique to provide the best results.

Composite Bonding FAQs

Composite Veneers and composite bonding are the same in terms of the material used. The difference is that composite veneers cover the entire surface of the tooth, whilst composite bonding normally covers part of the tooth.

A composite bonding procedure can be completed in one dental appointment as the process doesn’t involve any labs as the composite (white fillings) material is used. However, given the artistic nature of the procedure, it will take more time than a normal white filling to achieve the desired smile.

It depends on various factors such as the position of your teeth, color, and how appealing you want your smile to appear. Your teeth should be in the right position having sufficient tooth enamel to bond with composite bonding.

To find if bonding the best solution for your dental problem book a consultation with our experienced cosmetic dentist who should be able to advise if you are a suitable candidate for bonding and if the treatment will give you the results you are after or there is a better option.

At NW1 Dental Care, we also offer a mock-up of potential final outcome (additional costs apply) service which lets you preview the end result before you start the treatment.

If you have broken, cracked, discolored,  stained, misshapen, crooked or uneven, or crooked teeth, then you are a suitable candidate for the teeth bonding treatment.  Also, if you have slight gaps between your teeth then you would be a good candidate for composite bonding in London.

A composite bonding procedure can be done on people of all age groups who can benefit from this quick, affordable and pain-free cosmetic treatment to retore and improve their smile.

No, composite bonding is not painful at all. As all the work done is on the surface it can be usually carried out without anesthesia.

Composite bonding is a quick, straightforward forward, and pain-free treatment. The dentist will prepare your tooth by first cleaning it and then applying etching gel to roughen the surface for a better bond. After this, the resin material will be applied to shape and sculpt the tooth. Next, the bonding material is hardened using a special curing light and then polished to achieve a proper shine and luster giving you a dazzling smile.

For best results of teeth bonding your teeth need to be perfectly clean and free of any tartar, so a hygiene session may be required before the treatment. We will also remove any damage or decay to prepare the teeth for cosmetic bonding.

For simple cases, a mock-up of the potential outcome can be done over your teeth to show the end result to ensure you are happy before proceeding with the composite bonding procedure.

In some cases, a trial smile is carried out by taking an impression of your teeth and then fabricating a study model of how your teeth will look after the treatment. This can then be transferred directly onto your teeth to preview how the final outcome will look.

If you plan to have both teeth whitening and bonding, then you first need to do teeth whitening followed by teeth bonding. The reason being you can’t whiten bonding material so best to get the desired teeth shade with teeth whitening and then the colour of the composite can be selected to match the shade of your whitened teeth.

Once you have had dental bonding the bonding usually lasts several years but might need to be repaired or replaced in time. How long the bonding lasts would also depend on how well you look after your teeth. Teeth that have undergone dental bonding should be cleaned like regular teeth with regular brushing, flossing and mouthwash. Regular dental check-ups and visits with our hygienist will help.

Remember that as composite bonding isn’t as strong as your natural tooth any biting of fingernails, pens or biting on hard objects and foods can chip the bonding.  Also, the bonding material is not stain proof, so it can stain when tea, coffee, wine etc. are consumed, just like natural teeth. Note that smoking also can affect bonding as nicotine gets absorbed through the pores in the composite resin and discolour the teeth

Everyone’s teeth colour is different and so we can provide a range of shades to match the colour of your teeth and provide the results you want. During your consultation, the dentist will discuss your requirement and then use the desired tooth colour resin to sculpt the natural-looking beautiful smile.

Yes, as the composite is applied without removing your teeth enamel it can easily be removed. The treatment process is reversible, giving you the option to restore teeth or change their appearance with other treatment options at a later time.

Teeth whitening treatment doesn’t work on the composite material used for bonding so they cant be whitened like natural teeth. However, most people first get the teeth bonding done within a week or two of whitening treatment so that the new composite can be matched with the whitened teeth.

Try to avoid biting on hard objects like ice cubes, hard candies, carrots, hard roll, etc.. – any food that is tough or hard ! Also, be careful, you shouldn’t bite directly on apples with front bonded teeth and avoid habits like nail biting which could damage the bonded tooth.

Remember bonding material will not whiten like natural teeth so they might get stained if you drink coffee, red wine, or smoke. How good your teeth look and last depends on how well you take care of them.

You need to take care of your composite bonded tooth just like natural teeth where you maintain good hygiene and visit a dentist to get them checked and cleaned every six months.

No, it is not available on the NHS but you can get the treatment from private dentists. Dental bonding is generally considered a cosmetic dental procedure, which is to say that it has very little effect on a person’s actual dental health because of which it isn’t offered on the NHS.

Cosmetic or tooth bonding is a simple and easy procedure for people who want to improve or enhance minor flaws in their teeth without the expense and time needed for other cosmetic treatments. However, there are other cosmetic dental treatments that are stronger, long lasting, and in some cases the best alternative to address your dental condition. At NW1 Dental Care, we offer a range of such cosmetic treatments which include porcelain dental veneers, Lumineers, crowns, braces, and Smile makeovers.

Whether you are looking for a smile makeover or to fix a cosmetic correction, veneers (composite or porcelain) are an excellent choice. Below are some key advantages and disadvantages of composite veneers (dental bonding) over porcelain veneers :

  • Composite bonding is quicker and can be done in one visit whereas porcelain veneers require at least two visits to prepare and fit the veneers. So you can walk in during your lunch hour and get it done quickly.
  • Composite bonding treatment is cheaper than porcelain veneers. Composite resin veneers are made at the clinic by the dentist whereas porcelain veneers are made in a dental laboratory
  • In the composite veneers process the composite material bonds directly onto the tooth surface and therefore doesnt damage the tooth at all. Whereas in porcelain veneers process require minimal removal of some tooth surface
  • Composite bonding can be easily repaired whereas in case of porcelain veneers if they break they need to be replaced

However,

  • Porcelain veneers resist everyday staining from smoking, coffee, tea, red wine, and other dark or richly coloured food and drinks. The stain-resistant property means no more need for teeth whitening.  Whereas composite veneers get stained over time like natural teeth and cant even be whitened using any teeth whitening procedures
  • Porcelain veneer could be cost effective over time in some cases if you break down costs by how often you would have to replace/repair a composite bonded tooth
  • Porcelain veneers are more aesthetic compared to composite veneers
  • Porcelain veneers are more durable. With proper care, porcelain veneers should last around 10-15 years as compared to composite veneers which last 4-8 years.
