Composite Bonding: Is It Right for Me?

If you’re unhappy with the appearance of your smile, composite bonding can be a good treatment option that can help you get whiter, healthier-looking and straighter teeth.

When it comes to any dental treatment being right for you, it all depends on your personal goals and needs. In this blog, we’ll go over what composite bonding is, how it works and why it can be a good solution for you.

What is composite bonding?

Making small changes to your teeth that can achieve a significant improvement to your smile, composite bonding can treat tiny chips on the surface of your teeth, change the size or shape of your teeth and make them whiter.

It’s a temporary solution to correcting your smile, in a much less invasive and extensive method than other treatment options. A fast resolution, it can transform your smile in just one appointment, depending on your needs.

How does it work?

Using a composite resin material made in the shade that best suits your teeth, composite bonding is designed to achieve the most natural-looking results possible to blend in with all of your teeth.

The material is applied over the top of the specific teeth that need treatment, and will be shaped, fixed in place and polished. The composite resin can cover up chips, achieve a better, straighter shape and create a healthy-looking glow.

The treatment works super fast and may be able to achieve your desired results in just one visit!

When to choose composite bonding

If you want a quick enhancement to the appearance of your smile, without undergoing an invasive and costly treatment, composite bonding might be the right choice. Although it doesn’t achieve permanent results, it can be a good solution for those who want to begin to make improvements to their smile and are not sure where to start, or want to see how an improved smile may look before choosing permanent treatment options.

Composite bonding can correct imperfect tooth shapes, cover chips and combat a yellowish appearance. If your concerns are mainly aesthetic-based and aren’t about replacing missing teeth or correcting tooth damage that may be causing pain or make it hard to chew, composite bonding can be enough to cover all of your needs.

The treatment can be an absolutely perfect choice if you want to achieve a better smile before a special event, such as a photoshoot or your wedding day. If you want more permanent results after you are happy with the outcome of your composite bonding treatment, you can always come back into the clinic and take a look at your options!

Composite bonding can also help you work out what you want to permanently change. Since it’s a temporary treatment, if you’re unhappy with any part of your results, you can simply go back to your original smile or make adjustments in the future to improve the outcome.

On the other hand, the treatment may not be the best option for you if you are concerned with the strength of your teeth, need to replace missing teeth or experience any pain that you would like to treat. If this is the case, we offer a variety of advanced treatments using the latest technology to achieve optimal results, so we welcome you to come in for a consultation to talk about your other options!
