Composite bonding is a versatile and minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that can transform your smile in just a single visit. At Bingham Dental, we use this advanced technique to address a range of aesthetic concerns, including chipped, uneven, or discoloured teeth, as well as to close gaps or subtly reshape your smile.
What is Composite Bonding?
Composite bonding uses a tooth-coloured resin material that is carefully sculpted and bonded directly onto the tooth surface. The material is shaped and polished to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, delivering a beautiful and durable result. This treatment is popular due to its affordability, speed, and ability to achieve significant improvements with minimal tooth preparation.
Digital Smile Design Integration
For a truly bespoke outcome, we utilise pre-operative digital smile design technology. This advanced approach allows us to plan your new smile precisely, taking into account your facial proportions and aesthetic preferences. You’ll have the opportunity to preview your transformed smile before treatment begins, ensuring the final result aligns perfectly with your vision.
Composite Bonding vs. Porcelain Veneers
While both composite bonding and porcelain veneers can deliver stunning results, there are some key differences:
Preparation: Composite bonding often requires no drilling or alteration of the natural tooth, whereas porcelain veneers typically involve removing a thin layer of enamel.
Material: Composite bonding uses resin, which can be repaired easily but may not last as long as porcelain. Veneers, made from porcelain, are more durable and resistant to staining.
Treatment Time: Composite bonding is completed in one visit, while veneers require multiple appointments, with time in between for fabrication and fitting.
The Power of Combination Treatments
When combined with treatments like teeth whitening and orthodontic alignment, composite bonding can produce exceptional aesthetic outcomes. Whitening ensures the natural teeth are a brighter shade before bonding, while alignment corrects the positioning of the teeth to provide a balanced foundation. These combined treatments create a harmonious, natural-looking smile that is as healthy as it is beautiful.
