At Manor Lodge Dental Practice, we can help create the even, photogenic smile you’ve been dreaming of with composite bonding.
Composite bonding is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that can radically change a smile in just one appointment. Because it is minimally invasive, it very rarely involves any drilling or injections. It is often used in conjunction with other cosmetic or orthodontic treatments to help complement and enhance the overall finish of your smile. For example, it’s a popular choice alongside Invisalign® and teeth whitening treatments.
What is it made of?
As the name suggests, composite bonding is made of a composite resin material. This material is highly natural looking as well as being easily manipulated into the desired shape and finish. Our dental team is highly experienced in this treatment, and are well trained in creating a photo-ready smile through the art of composite bonding.
What is the treatment like?
As mentioned, this treatment rarely ever involves the use of drilling of injections. First, we’ll start by lightly roughening up the surface of the teeth so that it can better bond to the composite material. Once this has been done, we’ll professionally apply the resin to the teeth, hardening it under a special light. Then, we’ll reshape the composite material to create the finish you’re looking for.
