COMPOSITE BONDING- THE PROCEDURE!
At Dental Clinic Chelsea, we provide Edge Bonding and Composite Veneers, two different forms of composite bonding. Before any treatment is administered, you will have the chance to talk with the dentist about your options and determine which is best for you.
Composite bonding is a painless, non-invasive procedure that leaves your natural teeth unharmed. It’s a totally reversible, non-permanent procedure that improves minor flaws to give the smile a more even, whiter appearance.
Your dentist will clean and prepare the tooth’s exterior before applying the composite material. An acidic gel is used during the preparation process to guarantee that the composite will correctly adhere to your teeth.
Before starting treatment, you and your dentist at Dental Clinic Chelsea will choose the ideal composite colour to match your current teeth. To ensure a brighter, whiter smile for your bonding appointment, you might want to consider having your natural teeth whitened beforehand. If so, we will give you a professional whitening kit to use at home, which should take about 14 days to complete.
After applying the composite to the tooth, the dentist shapes and sculpts it to the desired appearance. To ensure that the composite is firmly in place, it is cured with a blue light. Your new smile is complete once the composite has been refined and polished!

FAQs
-
DO I FIT THE GUIDELINES FOR COMPOSITE BONDING?
The position, colour, and final appearance of your teeth are just a few of the variables that will determine if composite bonding is right for you. In general, for the composite to bond onto your teeth, they must be in good condition and have enough tooth enamel.
-
IS THERE ANYTHING SPECIFIC I SHOULD EXPECT FOR MY TREATMENT?
The procedure of composite bonding is quick, simple, and painless. Your dentist will first clean the tooth and then use a “etching” gel to roughen the surface in order to improve the bond. After that, the resin is shaped and sculpted by either painting it on as a liquid or applying it in a putty-like consistency. After being hardened with a specialized curing light, it is polished to a pleasing sheen.
-
HOW LONG DOES THE COMPOSITE LAST FOR?
The composite resin is highly durable and was created especially for this treatment. Even so, it is not as durable as porcelain and is prone to chipping and breaking. The maintenance of the teeth and any potentially harmful habits you may have will play a major role in determining how long the treatment lasts. Your dentist at Dental Clinic Chelsea will identify these for you.
