Composite bonding also known as dental bonding, cosmetic bonding or teeth bonding is a treatment that has been utilised for many years and can completely transform your teeth cosmetically in a single visit without causing any tooth damage. Tooth bonding can:
Composite bonding is a material produced from composite resin and a number of fillers. Composite bonding treatment is becoming increasingly popular due to its aesthetically pleasing appearance and its many benefits. Also the dentist is able to match the shade, translucency and texture of a natural tooth. Bonding has become very popular as it does not require any tooth shaving or reduction which is usually necessary for porcelain veneers. At Pearl dental clinic, we have successfully transformed 1000’s of smiles using dental bonding since 2007. You are welcome to view the Composite Bonding Before & After gallery of our cases.
The major benefit of tooth bonding is that it does not require any tooth reduction and is safe and reversible and does not damage teeth in any way. Bonding is painless and does not require any local anaesthetic. It also costs half of the cost of ceramic or porcelain veneers.
One minor disadvantage of tooth bonding is that it has a greater tendency to stain than natural teeth but composite stains can be easily polished in future by the dentist. Bonding can also chip off especially if composite edge bonding or composite veneers have been placed. Teeth bonding can be repaired easily by a cosmetic dentist and requires regular dental care and occasional touch ups.
After having your consultation to assess the suitability of your teeth for dental bonding, a trial smile is done by us scanning your teeth using our iTero 3D digital scanner.
A trial smile is a process of making the changes to your teeth on a cast model. Based on the shape and smile design that you wish to have for your bonding and teeth, the dental technician using wax makes bondings on the cast model of your teeth. This is a mock build up of your bonding known as wax-ups. We will then copy the wax-ups onto your teeth using temporary veneer material so that you can see a preview of your bonding known as a trial smile.
In the meantime, you can proceed with the whitening of your teeth if you have decided to whiten your teeth. When you are happy with your teeth whitening results, the teeth bonding is directly added to your teeth, shaped, contoured and polished in a single visit. Once applied, composite teeth bonding can not be whitened, so teeth whitening if needed should be done before bonding treatment is carried out.
Tooth bonding lasts around 3-5 years. To make your tooth bonding last even longer, we use AquaCare air abrasion technology to gently blast micron thick particles of Aluminium Oxide against your teeth. This create an additional very strong mechanical bond between your teeth and your bonding and makes your composites much less likely to debond. This treatment is completely painless and no local anaesthetic is required.
Composite bonding costs between £195-£295 per tooth. Composite bonding price varies in that range based on case complexity. We provide Composite bonding 0% payment plans on all of our treatments over £500. This allows you to have your treatment now and spread the bonding cost over 6-24 months without paying interest or paying a deposit.
