Your teeth are extremely strong and hard-wearing, but they are not unbreakable. If you have a broken tooth, it’s advisable to see your dentist to prevent further damage and restore your smile. There are various options available for treating broken teeth, including veneers and dental implants, but one of our most effective treatments is composite bonding.
What is composite bonding?
Composite bonding is a simple, quick and painless cosmetic dental procedure, which is extremely effective for patients who have chipped teeth. The bonding process involves using dental composite to strengthen and repair the teeth. Dental composite is matched to the colour of the tooth and it has both aesthetic and functional benefits.
Dental composite is shaped while in soft, putty form; your dentist will use their skill and experience to mould the composite to build up worn surfaces, repair chips and even close small gaps between the teeth. Once the composite is in place, it will then be hardened using a curing light; this is a very quick process and it is not painful at all.
What are the advantages of composite bonding?
Composite bonding is more affordable than dental implants and veneers and the procedure takes less than an hour, which means you can enjoy the benefits of treatment much quicker. The process is painless and there is usually no need for anaesthetic.
The changes brought about by cosmetic bonding are often minor, but they have a real impact on the overall aesthetic of the smile. If you have a chipped or broken tooth or your teeth are worn and you’re fed up of feeling self-conscious when you smile or meet new people, this treatment can help to rectify these issues and ensure you feel happy and confident in the future.
