What is composite bonding?

Composite bonding a modern way to enhance the appearance of the natural teeth by masking imperfections such as chipped or cracked teeth, uneven spacing, irregular sized or shaped teeth and minor misalignments.

A strong composite filling material is bonded to the teeth and polished . The material used is shade matched to your own natural teeth so it looks completely natural.

How is composite bonding done?

Your tooth will be prepared with an etchant gel and then a bonding agent will be applied. We will then apply tooth coloured composite material in small amounts to the tooth in different shades to build up the right colour and contour of the tooth. A UV light is then used to harden and set the material. The material is then polished and the shape is refined.

Can i whiten composite bonding?

Tooth whitening gels do not have an impact on composite material, so no it will not whiten composite material. We advise patients who wish to whiten their teeth to do so first before composite boning so the composite can be matched with the desired shade.

How long will it last?

Due to the material of the composite being softer than your natural teeth they need to be maintained well and are more prone to discolouration. We advise you to avoid anything that might stain them including drinking red wine, curries & smoking.

Typically, composite bonding cosmetically lasts around 5 years

Very friendly staff! I suffer with anxiety and every time I have an appointment the dentist is very patient and goes through everything to make sure I am OK and not too nervous. The dentist nurses, particularly Rachel is amazing! Especially with my children when they come in makes me feel at ease!

From the offset call confirming my appointment this dental practice experience was five star compared to dentist based Midlands . Front desk staff / nurses excellent giving me the reassurance that I was booked in with a great dentist as I personally have a fear of the dentist being in my late 30s . After my review etc with the dentist it was forgone conclusion that a full on extraction was required the dentist himself was unbelievable reassuring excellent service total professionalism which I haven’t come across recently, great team whom care about the patient journey I most certainly didn’t just feel like a number under their care . Thank you to all staff at Larkham House Dental Practice.
