When your front teeth are chipped, cracked or discoloured, it can be hard to ignore – after all, they are the first teeth visible when you smile. Composite bonding offers a quick cosmetic fix, disguising these areas of self-consciousness in a matter of hours.

What is composite bonding?

Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental treatment. The process includes applying a hard-wearing resin onto the surface of the tooth and moulding it to the desired shape and size, instantly transforming the tooth’s appearance.

The procedure is very versatile. From small chips and uneven edges to gaps and stubborn stains, dental bonding may be used for a variety of issues. The bonus? It is completely painless, with no drilling or injections required.

Can you get composite bonding on just front teeth? Absolutely. If desired, you could have it on just one of your teeth. Talk through your smile goals with your Yorkshire Dental Suite dentist and we will bring your vision to life.

Composite bonding front teeth: The procedure

The teeth bonding procedure is very quick, with full smile transformations taking under four hours to complete. If you wanted bonding on just your front teeth, this can be carried out in less than an hour. Here is what the process looks like:

1. Your dentist first washes the tooth
2. The resin is then hand applied to the tooth in thin layers
3. A UV light is shone onto the tooth to cure the resin in place
4. Next, the resin is polished and shaped to the desired aesthetic
5. A bite check is carried out
6. After final checks, you will leave the practice with your new smile

How long will composite bonding last on front teeth?

5 – 8 years is the average lifespan. However, the treatment’s longevity is significantly impacted as to how well the patient cares for the bonding, as well as the skill of the dentist applying the resin.

How can I make my composite bonding last as long as possible? One of the best ways to do this is by avoiding eating hard, sticky and crunchy foods, which have the ability to pick off the bonding.

We also recommend wearing a mouthguard if you grind your teeth or play contact sports, which helps to protect your new smile against accidental damage. Finally, visit your dentist for regular check-ups. They will keep your bonding in top condition.

Composite bonding on front tooth cost

Let’s move onto the price. Compared to other dental procedures, composite bonding is relatively low cost, but finance is available for patients wishing to the spread the price of their treatment over time.
