Composite Bonding Procedure
Composite bonding is a relatively simple and affordable procedure that can be completed in one visit to the dentist. The procedure involves applying a tooth-coloured composite resin to the surface of the tooth, shaping it to the desired form and then hardening it with a special light. The result is a natural-looking and functional tooth that blends in seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.
- The procedure begins with the dentist preparing the tooth by cleaning and roughening the surface. This allows the composite resin to adhere properly to the tooth.
- The dentist then applies the resin to the tooth in small increments, shaping and moulding it as needed.
- Once the desired shape and size is achieved, the resin is hardened with a special light.
- The final step is to polish the bonded tooth to give it a smooth and natural-looking finish.
It's important to keep in mind that composite bonding is not always a permanent solution, and may require touch-ups or be redone after a period of time.
To prolong the longevity of the bonding, it’s important to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid biting on hard or crunchy foods. If you are interested in composite bonding, consult with your dentist at Ashton Avenue so we can help determine if it is the right option for you. Whether you’re a local to Claremont WA or Perth, composite bonding is an option for you.
