Composite Bonding

If you are looking for a minimally invasive way to get a happy, healthy and improved smile then composite bonding might be the answer you’ve been looking for.

Composite bonding is a popular treatment here at one80 dental in Sheffield.  It is a tooth-coloured filling material, used as a cosmetic solution that can be applied to a tooth (or several teeth) surface to close gaps, improve proportions or even redesign a whole smile.

It can also be used to fix chipped teeth, fractures and cracks, as well as help to deal with more aesthetic concerns around the appearance of discoloured, shortened, or misshapen teeth.

Also referred to as “cosmetic bonding” or ‘tooth bonding’ this affordable cosmetic treatment is appropriate for patients of any age with good dental health.

The procedure is affordable and longlasting
Composite bonding is an affordable option and less invasive than treatments like dental crowns or veneers.

Dental bonding treatment begins with an initial examination of your smile where your individual requirements and any concerns or problems will be identified and discussed before any dental work is started.

Benefits of Cosmetic Bonding

• Immediate results
• Affordable and long lasting
• Cheaper than braces, crowns, or veneers
• Retains the natural structure of your tooth
• Can usually be completed in just one dental appointment
• Suitable for patients of all ages with good dental health

The Composite Bonding process
Your dentist will start by choosing a composite resin colour that matches your tooth best so that the end result looks natural. We normally recommend that you have any teeth whitening treatments first to achieve your preferred shade before treatment for bonding begins.

This treatment is also ideal following a tooth whitening procedure as the composite material can be matched to the brighter and whiter shade of the natural teeth.  It is also ideal after orthodontic treatment as any gaps or discolouration discovered as a result of tooth movement can be dealt with efficiently by composite material – this popular combination is often referred to as Alignment, Bleaching and Bonding (ABB).

Benefits of professional home whitening

• You can manage the desired result, choosing a shade that suits you. Simply stop when you feel your teeth are white enough
• Whiten your teeth in comfort at a time that’s convenient to you
• You can top up the treatment each month or for a special occasion.
