Affordable Composite Bonding in Southampton: Transform Your Teeth Today

What is composite bonding?

A pain-free way to regain your confident smile – composite bonding also known as resin bonding/cosmetic bonding.

This technique is a very conservative dental treatment to improve the appearance of your teeth such as chipped, uneven, crack, worn or discoloured teeth with no drilling necessary.

What is the procedure involved with composite bonding?

Firstly, your dentist will discuss your personal requirements, be that a chipped tooth, discolouration, gaps between teeth, or any other oral concerns.
A colour match will be made to ensure that the composite bonding blends seamlessly with the natural colour of your teeth.
If the area being treated requires any numbing, your dentist will do so at this stage. After this, the tooth surface where the composite bonding will be placed will be cleaned thoroughly.
The putty-like resin is then applied and sculpted before being exposed to a special light source called a curling light. This activates the composite, which will then harden and set.

How long does composite bonding last?

Composite bonded teeth can be more prone to damage or neglect if not maintained correctly, so ensuring you follow a good oral hygiene routine is key when it comes to the longevity of your composite bonding.

With proper care, the bonded teeth will last around 5-6 years before they require any kind of repair or polish.

Is composite bonding permanent?

Composite bonding is long-lasting, but not fully permanent. Due to the materials used in the bonding process not being as strong or durable as your natural tooth enamel, the composite will become damaged and stained over time.
