Composite Bonding in Pwllheli & Criccieth | Glandwr Dental Practice

Composite bonding is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment designed to enhance the appearance of your teeth. It involves applying a tooth-colored resin material to the surface of your teeth, which is then shaped and polished to create a more natural and uniform look. Whether you have chipped, stained, or misshapen teeth, composite bonding can provide a quick and effective solution to improve your smile.

Procedure

Composite bonding is a straightforward and painless procedure that can be completed in a single appointment. Here’s what you can expect during the process:

  • Consultation: Our team will assess your teeth and discuss your goals for the treatment.
  • Preparation: A small amount of enamel may be removed from the tooth’s surface, although this is usually minimal and doesn’t require anaesthesia.
  • Application: The composite resin is applied to your teeth and sculpted into the desired shape.
  • Curing: A special light is used to harden the material.
  • Finishing Touches: Once the material has hardened, we will polish the surface for a smooth and natural-looking finish.

How is composite bonding different from veneers?

Composite bonding is a more affordable and less invasive option compared to veneers. While both treatments can improve the appearance of your teeth, composite bonding typically involves less tooth preparation and can be completed in a single visit. Veneers, on the other hand, are thin shells that cover the front of the teeth and may require multiple appointments.

Tips for Maintaining Your Bonded Smile After Treatment

Are There Any Risks to Composite Bonding?

Composite bonding is considered a low-risk procedure when performed by an experienced dentist. However, like any dental treatment, there are some considerations:

  • Staining: While composite resin is resistant to staining, it can still discolor over time, especially if exposed to coffee, tea, or tobacco.
  • Chipping: Though rare, the bonded material can chip or crack if exposed to excessive force, such as biting into hard foods.
  • Sensitivity: Some patients may experience mild sensitivity following the procedure, which usually resolves after a few days.
