Composite Bonding

When you are looking for that winning smile, sometimes teeth whitening alone is not enough. At our clinic in Henley-on-Thames, we utilise composite bonding to repair small chips or cracks and conceal unsightly tooth stains.

Composite bonding is a modern cosmetic dental treatment that uses a tooth-coloured composite resin to enhance the shape, size, and shade of your teeth. It is a perfect choice for correcting a wide range of aesthetic concerns without the need for extensive dental work, delivering beautiful, natural-looking results.

Is Composite Bonding the Right Treatment for You?

Composite bonding is an incredibly versatile treatment and an ideal solution for individuals looking for a fast and effective way to address cosmetic dental issues. You could be a perfect candidate if you wish to correct any of the following:

  • Chipped or Cracked Teeth: Repair minor damage and restore the tooth’s original shape.
  • Gaps Between Teeth: Close small diastemas (gaps) for a more uniform and even smile.
  • Stained or Discoloured Teeth: Cover stubborn stains that don’t respond to teeth whitening.
  • Uneven or Worn-Down Edges: Restore the length of teeth and create a more symmetrical smile line.
  • Slightly Misaligned Teeth: Improve the appearance of crooked teeth without the need for orthodontics.
  • Misshapen Teeth: Reshape teeth that are too small, pointed, or otherwise irregular.

The Benefits of Choosing Composite Bonding

  • Minimally Invasive: Preserves your natural tooth structure, as little to no enamel needs to be removed.
  • Fast and Convenient: In most cases, the entire procedure can be completed in a single, comfortable appointment.
  • Cost-Effective: A highly affordable alternative to more complex cosmetic treatments like porcelain veneers or crowns.
  • Aesthetically Flawless: The composite resin is matched and polished to blend invisibly with your smile.
  • Painless Procedure: The treatment is generally pain-free, and anaesthesia is usually not required.
  • Reversible and Repairable: The process is entirely reversible, and should the bonding chip in the future, it can be easily repaired.

The Composite Bonding Journey

We pride ourselves on a patient-focused approach that is tailored to your unique goals. Your journey to a new smile is simple, comfortable, and efficient.
Personalised Consultation
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with one of our cosmetic dentists. We will discuss your aesthetic goals, assess your dental health, and determine if composite bonding is the best option for you. This is your opportunity to ask questions and design your dream smile with us.
Preparation and Shade Matching
Unlike more invasive procedures like veneers, composite bonding requires little to no removal of your natural tooth enamel. The tooth surface is simply prepared with a conditioning liquid to help the resin adhere. We then use a shade guide to select the perfect colour of composite to match your smile.
Artistic Application and Sculpting
Our clinician will expertly apply the putty-like composite resin to your tooth. With a skilled and artistic eye, they will carefully sculpt and mould the material to achieve the desired shape and contour, correcting imperfections as they work.
Curing and Polishing
Once the resin is perfectly shaped, a high-intensity curing light is used to harden it in seconds. Finally, the bonded tooth is meticulously polished to create a smooth, high-lustre finish that looks and feels completely natural.

Quick answers to questions you may have

How long does composite bonding last?

With proper care and good oral hygiene, composite bonding can last for 5 to 7 years or even longer. We recommend regular check-ups and avoiding habits like biting nails or opening packets with your teeth to prolong its lifespan.

Does the composite bonding procedure hurt?

Not at all. The procedure is painless, and since it typically doesn’t involve working near the nerve of the tooth, an anaesthetic injection is not usually necessary.

Can composite bonding be whitened

The composite resin material does not respond to teeth whitening treatments. If you are considering whitening your teeth, we recommend doing so before your bonding procedure so we can match the resin to your newly brightened smile.

How do I care for my bonded teeth?

You can care for your bonded teeth just as you would your natural ones. Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and attend routine dental check-ups and hygiene appointments. It’s also wise to avoid excessive consumption of staining foods and drinks like coffee, red wine, and tea to maintain their colour.

How much does composite bonding cost?

 The cost of composite bonding depends on the number of teeth being treated and the complexity of the case. It is generally considered one of the most affordable cosmetic dental treatments. We will provide you with a fully transparent and detailed cost breakdown during your initial consultation.
