Composite Bonding in Southampton

Composite Bonding in Southampton

We can restore broken or chipped teeth and give you a beautiful smile again with composite bonding.

What is composite bonding?

Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves applying a tooth-coloured resin material, a durable plastic composite filling, to a tooth. This material is hardened with a special light, effectively “bonding” it to the tooth and enhancing your smile.

Bonding has long been a cost-effective alternative to crowns or veneers for enhancing smiles. Its popularity has increased recently due to stronger, more attractive materials. Plus, composite bonding is less invasive, often needing little to no removal of the existing tooth structure.

Perfect your smile with composite bonding

Composite bonding is a simple solution to address minor dental imperfections, enhance your confidence, and rejuvenate your smile.

It can effectively repair:

• Broken, chipped, or misshapen teeth
• Uneven spaces or small gaps between teeth
• Stains or discolouration that can’t be removed
• Sensitivity issues resulting from gum recession
• Minor tooth decay

Your composite bonding treatment journey

We’ll begin with an initial consultation with our Southampton dentist, to discuss your smile goals and develop a personalised treatment plan.

The best part? Composite bonding doesn’t require any drilling or numbing injections, so it can typically be completed in just one appointment.

1. Colour selection: We start by selecting a composite colour that closely matches your natural teeth and aligns with your desired results.
2. Preparation: Next, we gently prepare the tooth surface and apply a bonding liquid to ensure the composite adheres effectively.
3. Application: Then, we apply the composite resin to your tooth and sculpt it to blend seamlessly with your other teeth, using a special ultraviolet light to harden it safely.
4. Refinement: Finally, we refine the shape and polish the tooth, ensuring it matches the natural surface of your other teeth perfectly.
