What is composite bonding?

Composite bonding is a popular cosmetic dental treatment, able to transform the appearance of your smile in just one appointment. At Smilestyle, we can use composite bonding to change the shape, size or colour of your teeth to achieve your ideal smile, or repair minor areas of tooth damage in a pain-free and aesthetic way.

Teeth bonding is often used as a fast and non-invasive smile makeover, giving you a confident and beautiful smile you can be proud of. No drilling or anaesthetic is needed during the treatment process, and it is suitable for most patients. Composite bonding is often more affordable than other options for improving your smile, such as crowns or veneers, and does not damage or alter your natural teeth in any way.

What does composite bonding treatment involve?

Consultation

1. Consultation

At your initial consultation, we ask you what you want to change about your teeth and your ideal results. We examine your teeth, making sure you are suitable for composite bonding treatment. We explain the treatment process in detail and give you the chance to ask any questions.

Planning

2. Planning

We create your treatment plan, giving you an idea of the costs and time involved. In most cases, we can carry out your teeth bonding in a single appointment. We can also discuss payment options with you at this stage.

Treatment

3. Treatment

We colour-match the composite material to your natural tooth shade, or can use a brighter shade according to your goals and preferences. We carefully clean and dry your teeth before placing a specially formulated gel on them, which enables the composite to bond effectively. We then apply the composite material in layers, gradually building up the desired tooth shape and size.

Your new smile

4. Your new smile

We harden the composite material on your teeth using a bright light, which ensures it sets immediately. Your treatment is complete! We give your teeth a professional polish so they look smooth, bright and healthy, and leave you to enjoy your new smile, with no recovery time needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does composite bonding last?

Composite bonding typically lasts around 5-7 years, depending on your individual case. You may find your tooth bonding chips or becomes damaged over time, but it can be replaced or repaired easily.

Will composite bonding stain?

Composite bonding can stain over time, especially if you consume a lot of dark-coloured foods and drinks, including coffee, tea, red wine, curries and sauces. If you are a smoker, your composite bonding is also more likely to stain. To keep your teeth bright, it is best to avoid these foods and drinks where possible.

Does composite bonding hurt?

Composite bonding is a completely pain-free treatment, so won’t hurt at all. It is non-invasive, with no drilling or removing tooth enamel is required at all.

Will composite bonding damage my teeth?

Composite bonding will not damage your teeth. None of your natural tooth enamel needs to be removed for the treatment to be successful, so your tooth structure remains intact. If you decide you no longer want the composite material on your teeth, we can remove it easily and leave you teeth just as they were before.

Can I eat immediately after composite bonding treatment?

As the composite material is hardened and set straight away, you can eat and talk as normal immediately after your treatment. We may suggest you avoid certain foods for a short amount of time, but will communicate this to you.

How much does composite bonding cost?

The cost of composite bonding varies depending on how many teeth are being treated and the extent of bonding needed for each tooth. At Smilestyle, we offer cosmetic bonding in Nottingham from £200 per tooth, with flexible finance options available if you would like to spread the cost.

Is composite bonding suitable for me?

If you are looking for a quick and simple way to change the appearance of your smile, repair minor areas of damage or close small gaps, cosmetic bonding could be the ideal treatment for you. Unlike other cosmetic dental treatments, it doesn’t need any invasive preparations to be made to your natural teeth, and is completely pain-free. Please talk to us if you have any questions, or would like to discuss composite bonding treatment in detail.
