Composite Bonding
At Smile Hub our smile makeovers start at the consultation where one of our expert dentists will guide you on the journey to creating that perfect smile!
What is composite bonding I hear you ask? Composite bonding at Smile Hub is carried out by our highly professional and experienced team of dentists who have a genuine passion to creating smile transformations. Composite dental bonding involves the application of tooth coloured composite material using adhesives and a high intensity light that cures the adhesive to the tooth. This type of bonding is used mainly to enhance the appearance of the anterior teeth.
Composite bonding is suitable for use:
- To repair chipped or worn-down teeth
- To improve the appearance of discoloured teeth
- To enhance the shape of irregular teeth
- To close gaps and spaces between teeth
- Post orthodontic treatment to enhance and improve the smile further
- Post periodontal treatment – to improve and enhance gum recession
- Alternative to amalgam fillings
- To protect the tooth root at areas where the gums have receded
For composite bonding at Smile Hub, there is very minimal preparation of the tooth structure that is needed. Anaesthetic is often not needed for cosmetic bonding. Veneers are manufactured in a laboratory, whereas dental bonding is usually done in one or two visits at Smile Hub with our expert dentists depending on the amount of work needed.
In cases where multiple teeth need bonding, our dentists are Smile Hub would anticipate 2-3 appointments for the completion of the bonding process. Our expert dentists will talk you through the bonding process and will find a colour of bonding that matches your teeth for the perfect seamless look and an enhanced smile. After the bonding the dentists will review the teeth to make sure the transition between the bonding and tooth is smooth.
