There are several ways to fix cosmetic dental problems. You may already be aware of dental veneers, but you might not know much about composite bonding. 

If you ask questions like, "Is composite bonding right for me?" Learning more about the treatment can help you answer that. 

Here are the answers to some of the most commonly asked composite bonding questions. 

What Is Composite Bonding?

Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental treatment using resin to repair defects in your teeth. Unlike some other types of restoration, composite bonding doesn’t involve pre-made elements. Instead, the composite resin is applied directly to the tooth, crafted into shape, hardened, and polished. 

The treatment is sometimes called "tooth bonding," "dental bonding," or "cosmetic bonding" by other dental professionals. 

What Can Composite Bonding Fix?

This versatile treatment can fix various issues, including repairing chips and cracks, rebuilding misshapen and uneven teeth, and improving the texture and appearance of your teeth.

Although it’s a cosmetic treatment, repairing damage to your teeth can reduce the risk of dental infection.

What Are the Benefits of Composite Bonding?

Composite bonding improves the appearance of your teeth. Using resin that matches your teeth means we can seamlessly repair defects. The result is a natural-looking smile that can help you feel confident. 

In comparison to other treatments, composite bonding is quick, simple, and discomfort-free. This makes it an attractive option. 

Is Composite Bonding Suitable for Everyone?

While most people can receive composite bonding treatment, we’ll need to assess the health of your teeth to ensure this is the best option for you. If you grind or clench your teeth or bite your nails, your resin may become damaged. If you have bruxism, we may recommend an alternative. 

What Is Composite Resin Made Of?

Composite resin is made of a special plastic. The resin is BPA-free, safe, and hardwearing. While it is durable, it’s not as tough as your natural tooth enamel. 

What Happens During the Composite Bonding Procedure?

The composite bonding treatment is simple and effective. We can treat a single tooth or several. Before we start, we’ll need to assess your teeth and discuss what you would like to change. We can then plan your treatment. 

First, we’ll apply the composite resin to your teeth. Next, we’ll carefully sculpt it into your teeth, addressing the areas of concern. Once we’re happy with how your teeth look, we’ll use a special light to harden the resin.
