Teeth Composite Bonding in Chippenham, Corsham, Swindon and Devizes
Composite bonding is an effective and popular cosmetic treatment that can remedy a number of minor dental imperfections. From discolouration to gaps, composite bonding can help you to achieve the smile you have always wanted in no time at all.
What is composite bonding?
Composite bonding is a procedure that involves attaching composite resin to the front of your teeth. This treatment can hide chips and gaps to create a brighter, more uniform smile without having to cover the entire tooth.
This differs slightly from composite veneers, where the whole tooth is covered.
Composite veneers need teeth to be fitted onto, so are not suitable for those with missing teeth. If your teeth are more damaged, discoloured or misshapen, then porcelain veneers could be a more appropriate option.
Composite bonding and veneers are two treatments that can help restore your smile. You can discuss both options with your dentist, who will give you all the information you’ll need to make an informed decision on which route to take.
How does composite bonding work?
Prior to treatment, your dentist will match the resin colour to your natural teeth to make your treatment as seamless as possible. The surface of your tooth, or teeth, will then be conditioned in preparation for the resin application. When coating your teeth with the resin, your dentist will shape and mould the pliable material to create a pleasing, natural aesthetic. Blue light is then used to harden the resin before it is sculpted again. Finally, the resin will be polished to attain a truly flawless finish.
What are the benefits of composite bonds?
This straightforward procedure is ideal for anyone with minor dental imperfections who would not necessarily benefit from veneers.
It’s fast and effective, and can usually be completed in a single visit. The composite bonding is hardened using a curing light as soon as it’s applied, so you can comfortably bite down by the end of the appointment.
Composite bonding is also non-invasive, unlike other restorative treatments, the main structure of your teeth is left untouched. Composite bonding is a perfect solution for staining in teeth and fillings, and it can be used alongside our teeth whitening treatments to achieve a whiter smile.

FAQs
As cosmetic bonding is non-invasive, there should be no discomfort associated with this procedure. This means you can get the smile of your dreams without any pain whatsoever.
On average, composite bonding lasts for five years. Over time, the bond can wear down or chip off, in which case you’ll just need to get it replaced.
As a non-invasive option, composite bonding will cause no damage to your teeth.
Although the material used for composite bonding won’t respond to whitening in the same way that teeth do, there is a simple solution. You can replace the bonding material at the same time or within a week or two of whitening teeth to ensure that the composite matches the shade of the teeth.
Although composite bonding is strong, it is not as strong as your natural teeth. Therefore, it’s a good idea to avoid chewing on hard foods, drinking tea and coffee, smoking, and biting your nails. It’s also important to brush your teeth regularly and visit the hygienist.
You can get composite bonding on a single tooth or multiple teeth.
