What is Composite Bonding?
Composite bonding is a smile enhancement treatment that works to repair and improve the appearance of your teeth. The process involves the use of composite resin being applied to the tooth surface, being molded and shaped to cover the offending imperfections. This resin is then hardened and polished to give you a new and improved smile.
Step-by-step guide:
Consultation
Like all our treatments at Enhance Smiles, the first step is a professional initial consultation. Here, our expert dentist will guide you on exactly what you are dealing with when it comes to composite bonding. They will also do a check-up to make sure this treatment is the right one for you. At this appointment, you can express your desires and your concerns, and these will all be taken into account while formulating your unique treatment plan.
Colour Matching
Our dentist will use their experience and skill to prepare the composite resin to match the colour of your teeth. This will ensure that the result is even and has a natural look.
Tooth Preparation
Once your treatment plan is in place, you will be booked for the procedure. The first thing our dentist will do is prepare your teeth for bonding.
Resin Application
The resin is applied to your prepared teeth using an adhesive, and the dentist will then carefully mold and shape it to create the look discussed at your consultation.
Shaping and Curing
After the dentist is happy with the final shape of the composite resin, they will use a powerful light to cure the resin. This means the malleable resin will harden into the shape the dentist has carved out.
Final touches and Polishing
Once the resin has hardened, the dentist will ensure it is as desired and will probably test things like your bite to make sure it is even. At this stage, any minor alterations will be made, such as shaving down or filling gaps. The final composite bonded tooth will then be polished and buffed, ready for you to restart your life with confidence.
At the end of the procedure, our fantastic Dental team will give you tips and advice on how best to care for your teeth and maintain good oral hygiene.
Dental bonding is a safe and reliable cosmetic treatment. Much like tooth-coloured fillings, the composite material used is durable, aesthetically pleasing, and designed to blend flawlessly with your natural teeth. The composite resin used is designed to withstand as much as your natural teeth and so provides durable results. It is an effective and affordable treatment that is widely available and frequently used.

FAQs - Composite Bonding in Crawley and Rochester
How long does composite bonding last?
Dental teeth bonding can last between five and ten years. Proper care and hygiene will allow for longer-lasting results. Practices such as avoiding hard foods and teeth grinding will increase the lifespan of your composite bonding, as will giving up habits that cause stains, such as smoking and coffee etc. Regular dental check-ups can also help by detecting any issues early on.
Can composite bonding fix gaps in my teeth?
Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental treatment that aims to correct many different issues, including gaps.
Can I get teeth whitening with bonded teeth?
No. Once your teeth have undergone bonding, having them whitened is not a good idea. Teeth whitening treatments simply do not work on composite-bonded teeth. If you have some teeth that are bonded and others that are not, your natural teeth will whiten, but your bonded teeth will not, resulting in you having mismatched teeth.
Is dental bonding reversible?
Composite bonding is not a permanent treatment, as no significant changes are made to your natural teeth; the composite bond can be removed if needed.
