It typically lasts between 5 to 10 years. The longevity of depends on several factors including the location of the bonded teeth, the patient’s oral hygiene practices, and habits such as teeth grinding or biting on hard objects. Regular dental check-ups and proper care can help extend the life of the bonding. For optimal results, it’s important to follow your dentist’s recommendations for maintenance and avoid activities that could damage the bonded teeth.
Ideal candidates for composite bonding include individuals with minor dental imperfections such as chipped, cracked, or discoloured teeth. It is also suitable for those looking to close small gaps between teeth or alter the shape of a tooth.
The dentist will start by selecting a composite resin color that matches your natural teeth. The surface of the tooth will then be prepared by roughening it and applying a conditioning liquid. The composite resin is then applied, shaped, and hardened with a special light. Finally, the bonded tooth is polished to match the sheen of the rest of your teeth.
Composite bonding itself cannot be whitened using traditional teeth whitening methods. The materials used do not respond to the whitening agents that bleach natural tooth enamel. If your composite bonded teeth have become discoloured or if you want to match the colour to newly whitened teeth, the existing composite bonding material will need to be replaced.
Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that uses a tooth-coloured resin to repair and enhance the appearance of teeth. The resin is applied to the teeth and then shaped and polished to match the surrounding teeth, resulting in a natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Here are some of the key benefits and functions:
1. Repairs Damage: It can fix minor chips, cracks, and fractures in teeth, restoring their integrity and functionality.
2. Closes Gaps: It can be used to close small gaps between teeth, providing a more uniform and attractive smile.
3. Covers Discoloration: The resin can cover stains and discolorations that do not respond to traditional whitening treatments.
4. Reshapes Teeth: Composite bonding can reshape teeth that are too small, uneven, or oddly shaped, creating a more balanced look.
5. Protects Roots: It can cover and protect exposed roots caused by gum recession, reducing sensitivity and preventing further damage.
6. Quick and Minimally Invasive: The procedure is typically quick, often completed in a single visit, and requires minimal removal of the natural tooth structure.
This treatment is a versatile and effective solution for enhancing the appearance of your teeth and improving your overall smile.
Composite bonding is usually a painless procedure. In most cases, anesthesia is not required unless the bonding is being used to fill a cavity. Patients may experience some sensitivity after the procedure, but this usually subsides within a few days.
Yes, composite bonding can be removed or replaced if needed. This might be necessary if the bonding material becomes chipped, worn, or discolored. The removal process is generally straightforward and does not harm the natural tooth structure.
Care for composite-bonded teeth is similar to caring for natural teeth: brush twice a day, floss daily, and visit your dentist regularly for check-ups. Avoid biting on hard objects (like ice or pen caps) and minimise consumption of stain-causing foods and drinks (like coffee, red wine, and tea) to maintain the appearance of the bonding.
