It’s a term you may have heard of, ‘composite bonding’, but what does it actually mean? Composite Bonding Harley Street is an effective treatment for altering minor imperfections in the appearance of your Teeth using a resin. The resin is matched to the colour of your enamel and can be added to your teeth to close gaps between them, fix any chips or to treat any imperfections in the aesthetics of them. It is a painless procedure that only needs one visit and can be a far less invasive experience than some other treatment options.

How does composite bonding work?

Composite bonding Harley Street works by one of our dentists choosing a shade of resin that matches your natural teeth. The resin is made from a durable plastic material and can be applied to your teeth without the need to do any work to the teeth first. This can mean that there is no need to damage the teeth in any way in order to attach the resin on to them.

When we add the resin on to the tooth that is being treated, we are able to shape and smooth it to the required size. Once we have done this and we are satisfied that the results are going to be aesthetically pleasing, we then use a special light to make the resin harden in minutes! This can be a welcomed procedure for many patients as it is non-invasive and shouldn’t hurt at all.

Are there any other reasons to choose composite bonding Harley Street?

Although composite bonding may not last as long as veneers, it is far less invasive to your teeth. With veneers, we need to file away a thin layer of enamel in order to attach the veneer on to the front of your teeth. Some patients prefer the prospect of avoiding doing this and composite bonding is a solution that still delivers excellent aesthetic and functional results for your smile, whilst allowing the teeth to remain strong and healthy.
