Composite Tooth Bonding

 
 
 

Dreaming of a brighter, more confident smile? Composite tooth bonding, also known as composite resin bonding, could be the answer. This quick and easy cosmetic treatment uses a tooth-coloured resin to seamlessly repair chips, cracks, and gaps, giving you a natural-looking and dazzling smile. Whether you're bothered by minor imperfections or want to subtly enhance your teeth, composite bonding offers a discreet and affordable solution to achieve the smile you've always wanted.

How long does composite bonding last?

So, how long will your dazzling new smile last? Well, just like anything, it depends! Factors like how much work was done, how well you brush and floss, and even if you have a habit of grinding your teeth can all play a role. With good care, your composite bonding can look fantastic for years, often five to ten years or even longer. But remember, it's not indestructible! Enjoy those crunchy apples and chewy sweets in moderation, and don't forget those regular check-ups with your dentist. They can spot any potential problems early on and keep your smile shining bright.

Composite tooth bonding vs composite veneers.

Confused about composite bonding and composite veneers? Think of bonding as a quick touch-up, like applying concealer to a blemish. It's great for minor imperfections like a chipped corner or a small gap. Veneers, on the other hand, are more like a full-face makeover. They cover the entire front of the tooth, giving you a complete smile transformation. Bonding is like adding a little sparkle, while veneers are like creating a whole new masterpiece. Both use the same amazing material, but they achieve very different results.

How much does composite bonding cost?

Want to know how much that picture-perfect smile might cost? Composite bonding typically starts around £200-£450 per tooth, but don't worry, it's not a one-size-fits-all price tag! For minor touch-ups like fixing a small chip or filling a tiny gap (we call this edge bonding), you'll likely be on the lower end of that range. But if you're dreaming of a more dramatic transformation with full coverage bonding, sometimes called composite veneers, the cost might be a bit higher. Every smile is unique, so it's always best to chat with your dentist for a personalised quote.

Is composite bonding good for your teeth?#

While composite bonding is generally considered safe, it's important to be aware of potential considerations. The bonding material can be susceptible to staining from certain foods and beverages, such as coffee, tea, and red wine. It can also be more prone to chipping or wear and tear compared to more robust materials like porcelain. Regular dental check-ups are essential to monitor the condition of the bonding and address any issues promptly, such as staining or chipping, to ensure the long-term health and integrity of your teeth.
