Composite Bonding Procedure

STEP 1:Preparing The Teeth

Cleaning and preparing the tooth surface is the first step required. We make sure to maintain the highest standard of hygiene. Our dentist will first get the surface of the tooth ready. The tooth is cleaned thoroughly and prepared with a gel which chemically roughens the surfaces. This gel roughens the surface to a microscopic level and allows for the composite to bond well to your tooth. An adhesive bond is then applied to the tooth surface. At SDS we use a glue based on evidence based research to ensure the best outcomes.

STEP 2: Using Composite

Composite (which behaves similar to moulding putty) is then applied onto the tooth surface. With a series of special instruments and brushes, we sculpt and mould the composite to the desired shape, size and curves for your tooth. These are generally applied in layers to recreate the natural shades. A special light is used to harden the composite. Once we have applied all the composite, we go through a series of polishing instruments to enhance the shape and ensure a high lustre polish for the final result.

Frequently Asked Questions

Composite bonding is using the tooth coloured filling material, applying this to the front surface of the tooth, to change the shape, size and contour of your teeth for cosmetic enhancements. Furthermore we can use this to restore the tooth structure that you have worn away over the years.

Composite edge bonding is where the tooth coloured filling material is added to the edges of your tooth where you can make them look more uniform or repair any chips to your teeth or even correct any imperfections to these edges.

Composite veneers are where you add the tooth coloured filling material over the whole surface of your tooth to enhance the shape, size and contours of your teeth,
Prices can vary between £400-600 on average. This can vary depending on the size and complexity of your composite bonding required. A consultation and even a smile design with one of our restorative dentists will be able to discuss this complexity with you.
This really depends on multiple factors. We use high quality composites and adhesive bonds that are researched upon thoroughly in the literature to maximise the longevity. But if maintained well, composite bonding can last up to 5 years generally.
Just like most dental procedures, the composite bonding will eventually require replacement if they wear away or lose their cosmetic lustre.\
Factors that may affect how long your composite bondings last can include where you clench or grind your teeth. Also the way your biting pattern is can also affect this. It is typically recommended to wear a splint to protect them as much as possible.
Unfortunately you can only whiten natural tooth structures. You can not whiten white filling materials. So it is important we support you to choose the right shade for you from the start.

Should you find the natural tooth colour starts to discolour but your existing composite bonding remains the shade you desire, then you can do a course of whitening to match the tooth colour close to the existing composite. Otherwise you may need to consider to replace the composite bonding with a brighter colour.
We typically do a smile design and see how this might look via a mock up in your mouth. You can see a draft of how the composite bonding may turn out. We can of course fine tune and adjust some of the shapes, size and contour.
Once this is verified with you, we can use a series of templates to apply the composite to this shape.
It is not considered to be harmful. Maintenance is important for you to prevent future decay, but composite bonding does not harm the teeth as we are simply adding the white filling material on the existing natural tooth structure. Therefore there is hardly any drilling involved on your natural teeth. We ensure our composite bonding services in Harley Street are safe.
This can depend on whether you are a grinder or clencher. There are other factors too to consider such as your bite relationships. Nevertheless with a decent bulk of composite placed, composite bonding can last around 5 years. They are liable to chipping nevertheless and a mouthguard is advisable to try to reduce the risk of this happening.
Composite bonding truly means placing composite on a portion of a tooth possibly to just to restore the worn part of your tooth or the chipped part. This could be to also resolve any irregularities to the shape or provide any repairs.
Composite veneers are placed over the whole of the front surface of your tooth having more control on amending the size, shape and contours.
A digital smile design may be required which can reveal how many teeth are required to receive composite bonding or veneers. Per tooth can cost around £571.
Yes you can remove composite bonding with polishing discs, although it can be tricky to go back to exactly how they were.
They are liable to staining, wearing away and chipping over time - similar to our natural teeth. Therefore repairs, repolishing or replacements are considered to be an inevitable phenomenon with composite bonding.
