Composite Bonding
What is Composite Bonding?
Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental treatment that involves the application of a tooth-coloured composite resin material to the teeth. It is a non-invasive and relatively quick procedure that can address various aesthetic concerns, such as chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth, gaps between teeth, and minor tooth misalignments.
Composite bonding is a versatile and cost-effective treatment option, providing immediate results with minimal tooth preparation. It is a conservative approach as it requires only minimal removal of the tooth enamel compared to other restorative treatments. The composite resin material is also durable, stain-resistant, and can be repaired or touched up if needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the treatment process for Composite Bonding?
- During the composite bonding treatment, the dentist first prepares the tooth surface by roughening it slightly.
- Then, the composite resin, is applied in layers and carefully shaped to achieve the desired appearance.
- The dentist uses special tools and techniques to sculpt the composite resin, ensuring it blends seamlessly with the natural teeth.
- Once the desired shape is achieved, the composite resin is hardened using a curing light.
- After the resin sets, the dentist further shapes and polishes it to achieve a natural and polished finish.
- The result is a restored tooth that matches the color, shape, and texture of the surrounding teeth, enhancing the overall smile aesthetics.
