Composite bonding, also known as dental bonding, is a popular cosmetic dental procedure designed to enhance the appearance of your teeth. It involves the use of a tooth-coloured resin, a durable material that is carefully applied to the surface of your tooth to fix imperfections such as chips, cracks, or minor misalignments.
This composite bonding resin is matched to the natural shade of your teeth and expertly moulded to create a flawless, smooth finish. Once applied, the material is hardened using ultraviolet light, bonding securely with your tooth. Afterwards, it is polished and shaped to ensure a natural look that blends seamlessly with your smile.
One of the major advantages of composite bonding is its simplicity and convenience. Unlike more invasive dental procedures, composite bonding can usually be completed in a single appointment without the need for anaesthesia or drilling. It’s an effective, affordable solution that improves both the function and aesthetics of your teeth, helping you regain confidence in your smile. If you're looking for a minimally invasive way to refresh your smile, composite bonding offers a quick and cost-effective option that leaves you with a natural, long-lasting result.
The longevity of composite bonding largely depends on how well you care for your teeth. On average, composite bonding can last 8-10 years, but its durability is closely tied to your oral hygiene and habits. While no special maintenance is required for bonded teeth, maintaining excellent oral care is essential to keep the bonding in top condition.
To prolong the life of your composite bonding, it’s essential to brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and floss at least once a day. Keep in mind that the composite resin used in bonding is not as strong as your natural teeth, so it’s wise to avoid chewing on hard items like pens or fingernails and stay away from particularly tough foods and lollies. If you regularly smoke or consume coffee, be aware that these habits can stain your bonded teeth, so limiting them—especially in the first two days after your procedure—will help keep your smile bright.
Additionally, scheduling regular dental cleanings every six months is key to keeping your bonded teeth healthy and looking their best. It’s also helpful to limit sugary drinks like soft drinks, fruit juices, and sports drinks, as these can lead to tooth decay and erosion. By making these small changes to your routine, you’ll not only protect your bonded teeth but also maintain a healthier, brighter smile overall.
