Composite bonding which is also known as composite veneers or dental bonding is a type of dental veneer that does not require drilling or injections. It is a simple and non-invasive procedure that helps you transform your smile. In composite bonding treatment, a thin layer of the composite resin is placed on the teeth then the resin is shaped, contoured and polished to improve the appearance of your smile.
Composite bonding is different from porcelain veneers which are made from resin polymer and fillers. Unlike porcelain veneers, composite bonding does not need to fully cover a tooth, except the two front teeth. Composite bonding can be used to cover only the upper part of the teeth close to the gum.
Anyone can get composite bonding as it can be used for the following.
I was searching for a dentist to do implants treatment. visited Dental Implant London and when I visited the clinic, I found they are so caring and supportive. The dentist explained me the entire process and suggested to stay calm during the treatment. Many thanks!
I have had gum disease and as a result have lost quite a few of my teeth. I was coping okay with my upper teeth plate but when I lost my bottom teeth I decided to have implants because bottom dentures were much more difficult to manage. I’m now considering having the upper set replaced with dental implants as well.
This bonding is one of the least invasive options available that improve the smile. They have the following advantages compared to porcelain veneers.
Compared to porcelain veneers, composite bonding has the following disadvantages.
I have struggled with various problems with my teeth over many years, and eventually was advised to have most of them removed. I was devastated about this but decided that I should see Dental Implants London for their advice on possible implants. They investigated my bone density before telling me that I would be suitable candidate. It is such a relief to know that I will soon have functioning teeth again. Thank you.
I have been looking at the cost of all on 4 dental implants and found that Dental Implants London was offering treatment at a very competitive cost. I will be starting my treatment next month.

On the average, composite bonding lasts about 3 – 5 years, but porcelain veneers can last for 7 – 10 years. Most types of dental veneers last longer for about 10 – 20 years if they are properly cared for. Your dental veneer can last longer if you practice good oral hygiene and maintenance, and wear night guards if you clench or grind your teeth.
Composite bonding does not break easily like porcelain veneers, and they rarely come off. Composite bonding can get broken or chipped for different reasons. For example, if you bite or chew into hard food, grind or clench your teeth often, your composite bonding could get damaged. However, if your composite bonding gets broken or chipped, you can easily repair them when you visit your dentist, but this is not possible with porcelain veneers.
The first step in getting composite bonding is aconsultation with your dentist. If your dentist finds you suitable for the treatment, you would have to consider a trial smile. A trial smile involves making the changes you need on your teeth on a cast model first. The dental technician will then use wax to make the dental bonding into your desired shape and design on the cast model. The cast bonding lets you see how the result of your treatment would be.
Your dental impression will be taken and sent to the lab. The modifications you want will be made on the cast model by an experienced dental technician.
While you wait for your composite resin, you may decide to whiten your teeth then the composite material will be directly added to your teeth, shaped, contoured, and polished to suit your need and improve your smile.
