Composite Bonding

The best way to look after your composite bonding is to maintain a great oral hygiene routine at home, including brushing and flossing twice a day to keep your mouth free from plaque and bacteria. This keeps the tooth underneath the composite healthy and strong, and prevents gum disease from forming. Your dentist will keep an eye on your tooth bonding at your regular check-up appointments.

Composite bonding is a completely pain-free and comfortable treatment. We don’t have to remove any of your natural tooth structure or existing enamel to make way for the composite material, as it is added on the top.

Dental composite is a type of resin which can be colour-matched to any tooth shade. It is a restorative material that can mimic tooth enamel and be used to improve the appearance of one or more teeth.

If it is looked after carefully, composite bonding on your teeth can last for many years problem-free. You can help it last as long as possible by keeping your oral health in great condition and making sure you see your dentist regularly for a check-up.

Composite bonding is very easy to repair, if necessary. The composite material can bond to itself as well as to dental enamel, so we can easily touch up small chips or areas of damage in a short appointment. In some cases, we may decide to remove the bonding and replace it, but this still only needs one visit to the practice.
