The Bonding Procedure

Step 1: Shade Selection

Your dentist selects a composite shade that perfectly matches your natural teeth. This ensures the bonding blends seamlessly with your smile.

Step 2: Preparation

The tooth surface is lightly roughened and a conditioning liquid applied. This helps the bonding material adhere strongly. Usually no anaesthesia is needed as there is minimal drilling.

Step 3: Application and Sculpting

The putty-like composite resin is applied and carefully sculpted to the desired shape. Your dentist has artistic control to create the perfect contour and appearance.

Step 4: Curing and Polishing

A special blue light hardens the material in seconds. Final shaping and polishing create a smooth, natural-looking finish that matches the lustre of your natural teeth.

Bonding vs Veneers: Which is Right for You?

Composite bonding is ideal for minor repairs and improvements, completed in one visit at lower cost. Porcelain veneers are better for more dramatic transformations, offering superior durability and stain resistance. Many patients start with bonding and later upgrade to veneers if desired.

Caring for Bonded Teeth

Composite can stain over time, so limit coffee, tea, and red wine. Avoid biting hard objects or using teeth as tools. Brush gently with non-abrasive toothpaste. With good care, bonding can last 5-10 years before needing touch-up or replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is composite bonding?

Composite bonding uses tooth-coloured resin material to repair chips, cracks, gaps, or discolouration. The material is sculpted directly onto your tooth and hardened with a special light.

How long does composite bonding last?

With proper care, composite bonding typically lasts 5-10 years. Avoiding hard foods, not biting nails, and good oral hygiene help extend its lifespan. Touch-ups are easy if needed.

Is composite bonding reversible?

Yes, unlike veneers or crowns, composite bonding requires minimal to no removal of natural tooth structure. This makes it a conservative, reversible option for cosmetic improvements.

Can bonding fix gaps between teeth?

Yes, composite bonding is excellent for closing small gaps (diastemas) between teeth. The material is shaped to widen the teeth slightly, closing the space for a more uniform smile.

What is the difference between bonding and veneers?

Bonding is applied directly in one visit and is more affordable. Veneers are lab-made porcelain shells that last longer and resist staining better. Bonding is ideal for minor improvements.
