About Composite Bonding
Composite bonding is a versatile, affordable cosmetic dental procedure that uses tooth-colored resin to repair chips, cracks, gaps, and discoloration. At Confidental Clinic in London, our skilled dentists apply this resin material to your teeth, shape it to perfection, and harden it with a special light. The result is a natural-looking improvement that can significantly enhance your smile in just one visit, without removing healthy tooth structure.

Treatment Process
Consultation
Your dentist will examine your teeth, discuss your goals, and determine if composite bonding is suitable for your specific needs.
Shade Selection
The resin material is carefully matched to the color of your natural teeth to ensure a seamless blend.
Preparation
The tooth surface is lightly etched and a conditioning liquid is applied to help the bonding material adhere. Unlike veneers, little to no removal of tooth structure is necessary.
Application
The tooth-colored resin is applied, shaped, and sculpted to achieve the desired appearance.
Curing and Polishing
A special light is used to harden the material, after which your dentist will trim, shape, and polish the bonded material to match your natural teeth and ensure a comfortable bite.

Aftercare
After composite bonding, maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice daily and flossing regularly. Avoid biting hard objects like ice, pens, or fingernails, and limit consumption of staining substances like coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco. If you grind your teeth at night, consider wearing a night guard to protect your bonding. Regular dental check-ups will help maintain the appearance and integrity of your bonding, which may need touch-ups or replacement every 5-7 years.
