Composite Bonding
Restore, Reshape, and Refresh Your Smile
Composite bonding is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments for patients looking to improve the appearance of their teeth without invasive procedures. At Poulton Dental Care & Implant Centre in Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire, we provide expert composite bonding solutions to enhance your smile quickly, comfortably, and affordably.
Whether you have chipped, discoloured, or uneven teeth, composite bonding can transform your smile in just a single visit. Our experienced team uses high-quality tooth-coloured resin to repair imperfections and create a natural-looking result that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth.
What is Composite Bonding?
Composite bonding, sometimes called dental bonding, is a cosmetic procedure where a tooth-coloured resin material is applied to the surface of your teeth to repair damage, reshape contours, or improve aesthetics. Unlike veneers or crowns, bonding does not require removal of healthy tooth structure, making it a minimally invasive option.
At Poulton Dental Care, we carefully select and sculpt the composite resin to match the shade and shape of your natural teeth. Once applied, the resin is hardened using a special light and polished to a smooth finish. The result is a stronger, more attractive tooth that looks and feels completely natural.
This treatment is ideal for patients with:
Chipped or cracked teeth
Small gaps between teeth
Stains or discolouration
Advantages of Composite Bonding
Composite bonding offers a number of benefits for patients in Poulton-le-Fylde and across Lancashire who are seeking cosmetic dental improvements.
1. Quick and Convenient
Most bonding treatments can be completed in just one appointment, with immediate results.
2. Minimally Invasive
There is no need to drill or remove healthy tooth enamel, making it a conservative option compared to crowns or veneers.
3. Natural Appearance
The resin is colour-matched to your existing teeth, creating a natural and seamless finish.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
With proper care, composite bonding typically lasts between 5 to 7 years. Good oral hygiene and regular check-ups help extend its lifespan.
Most patients find composite bonding completely comfortable. In most cases, no anaesthetic is required as no drilling into the tooth is needed.
The resin used in bonding does not respond to whitening treatments. If you are considering teeth whitening, it is best to have this done before bonding so the resin can be matched to your new shade.
Caring for bonded teeth is the same as caring for your natural teeth: brush twice a day, floss daily, and attend regular check-ups. Avoid biting hard objects to prevent damage.
Bonding is a great option for many patients, but it may not be suitable for large restorations or severely damaged teeth. During your consultation, we will discuss the best treatment options for your case.
The cost depends on the number of teeth being treated and the complexity of the case. We provide transparent pricing at your consultation and can discuss finance options if needed.
