Composite Bonding
Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental treatment that uses a tooth-coloured resin to correct any irregularities in your smile; our team here at Spondon can help you with chipped teeth, discolouration or even misaligned teeth.
A lot of people are uncomfortable with their smile. Your smile is usually the first thing that people will notice about you and so it plays an important part in your confidence and self-esteem. Composite bonding helps to improve the appearance of your teeth.
What it is
- Composite bonding works with resin. The resin is matched to your tooth colour and then shaped and applied to our teeth using a special adhesive in the way you desire and agree with
- The resin is then set using a curing light.
- Once the resin is hardened our dentist will buff and polish to give you a natural and even looking smile.
- Composite bonding can be used to correct one tooth or a few different teeth.
- It is usually done one tooth at a time and can take an hour or two per tooth depending on the complexity of your individual circumstance.
- It is a relatively quick and non-invasive procedure.
Once you our dentists have finished the procedure for composite bonding and the resin has hardened and set according to our dentist’s specification you ae free to go about your daily routines as usual!
Composite bonding can last quite a few years before needing to be replaced. Good oral hygiene and regular dental checks will ensure that your teeth will continue to look fantastic after treatment.

Your Questions Answered
FAQ's
Composite bonding is a non-invasive procedure with minimal preparation required and so is not regarded as a painful or uncomfortable treatment.
You can eat most foods with composite bonding however, the same habits that cause natural teeth to degrade will cause composite bonded teeth to degrade faster, as the resin is not as hard as our natural teeth.
Once you have had composite bonding treatment it is advised that you do not have teeth whitened. This is because teeth whitening will only work on your natural teeth and not the resin used for bonding and the colour difference will be apparent.
There are kits available that will allow you to perform tooth bonding at home. However, while they may save you some money there are many disadvantages. These kits are only intended for minor fixes which means, you will not be able to fill gaps or achieve the right colour and look; a dentist will have more tools and better materials to get the look you want.
