Benefits of Composite Bonding at Clayhall Dental Practice:
Enhance Your Smile:
Composite bonding is an excellent way to enhance your smile, whether used as a stand-alone treatment or following orthodontic work.
Customized Aesthetic:
The procedure involves applying white filling material to the tips or edges of your teeth, reshaping and refining your smile for a more polished appearance.
Seamless Integration:
The composite material is carefully color-matched to your natural teeth. We often recommend tooth whitening before bonding, which typically takes about two weeks.
Preserves Healthy Teeth:
This conservative treatment preserves healthy tooth tissue, as it does not require any removal of your natural teeth.
Comfortable Procedure:
Most composite bonding procedures at Clayhall Dental Practice are comfortable and do not require injections or local anesthetic.
Risks of Composite Bonding:
Potential Staining:
Composite material can stain over time, but it can be easily repolished to restore its original appearance.
Importance of Oral Hygiene:
Maintaining a good diet and oral hygiene is crucial, as neglect can increase the risk of decay around the bonded areas.
Teeth Grinding Concerns:
If you grind your teeth at night, the composite may chip or fracture. In such cases, a night guard or B-splint might be necessary to protect the restorations.
Easy Repairs:
Should the composite chip or fracture, it can be quickly and easily repaired by our team at Clayhall Dental Practice.
Temporary Adjustments:
You may experience slight changes in speech or chewing immediately after the procedure, but these effects typically resolve quickly as you adjust.
In select complex cases, we may create a wax mock-up of your teeth to help visualize the intended result and ensure precise composite placement. For simpler cases, the composite can be applied freehand. It’s best to wait 2-3 weeks after tooth whitening before composite bonding to allow your teeth to stabilize in color.
A retainer can help maintain tooth position and prolong the life of the composite bonding. When treating the tips of lower teeth, the composite may initially create a gap between the back teeth, but this typically resolves within a few days to months.
Composite bonding is a non-invasive solution with a lifespan of 5-7 years, after which it may require repair or replacement. Some patients opt for veneers or crowns for a more durable restoration, though these are less conservative and involve removing some tooth structure.
