HINCHLEY WOOD SMILES: HOW COMPOSITE BONDING CAN TRANSFORM YOUR LOOK
Tired of chipped teeth or minor gaps throwing off your smile? Composite bonding might be the perfect solution for you! This cosmetic dentistry treatment utilises a tooth-coloured resin material, meticulously sculpted and applied to your existing teeth. The resin is cleverly matched to your natural tooth shade, ensuring a seamless and undetectable result. Composite bonding is a versatile treatment, effective in addressing a variety of concerns. It can fix chipped or cracked teeth, close small gaps between teeth, and even alter the shape or colour of teeth for a more uniform appearance.
Do they shave your teeth for composite bonding?
In most cases, composite bonding does not require removal of the tooth structure. The beauty of this procedure lies in its minimally invasive nature. The dentist will meticulously roughen the surface of your existing tooth to create a strong bond for the composite resin. This roughening is very minor and doesn't remove any significant amount of tooth enamel. However, in some rare situations, a tiny amount of enamel might need to be removed, particularly if the chip or crack being addressed is quite large.
Do bonded teeth look fake?
When done correctly by a skilled dentist, composite bonding should not look fake.
Here's why:
A skilled dentist will use a resin material that perfectly matches the shade of your surrounding teeth to ensure a seamless and natural appearance.
The dentist sculpts the material to mimic the natural contours and texture of your teeth to create a realistic look.
Composite bonding involves applying a small amount of material to keep the repair subtle and avoids an unnaturally bulky appearance.
Overall, composite bonding is a well-established cosmetic dentistry procedure that, when performed with skill, delivers natural-looking results.
How painful is composite bonding?
Unlike procedures like fillings or crowns that involve drilling into the tooth, bonding typically requires minimal tooth alteration. The dentist might gently roughen the surface to create a strong hold for the resin, but this is a minor and painless step. Anaesthetic is usually not needed, though may be offered for those with heightened sensitivity. The most you might experience is temporary sensitivity to hot or cold after the procedure, which is usually mild and fades within a few days.
