An incredibly popular treatment, composite bonding is the secret behind many of the nation’s beautiful smiles. But is it actually worth it? The experts at Yorkshire Dental Suite have put together our top 5 reasons as to why composite bonding is worth your investment.
Reason 1: Unparalleled versatility
Composite bonding is a cosmetic fix for a wide range of issues, ranging from chips and cracks to discolouration and small gaps between the teeth. It may also be used to help your smile appear straighter without the need for orthodontics (mild cases only), making it an incredibly versatile procedure.
Reason 2: Extremely quick results
Perfect straight white teeth don’t have to take years to achieve. With composite bonding, it can take just a few hours. A full mouth transformation takes less than four hours and is carried out in one appointment, meaning you will leave the clinic with your new smile the very same day.
Reason 3: No drilling or injections required
Composite bonding is incredibly popular amongst our nervous patients – and that’s because the procedure is completely painless. How? Dental bonding is minimally invasive, meaning the tooth structure is not modified in any way. As a result, there is no need for drilling or injections.
Reason 4: Impressive lifespan
Despite it being a cosmetic treatment, composite bonding boasts an incredible longevity. It can last 5 – 8 years if cared for by the patient! Typical signs of wear and tear include discolouration of the bonding or rough edges, but this is easily fixed by your hygienist – simply book an appointment for a smile refresh.
Reason 5: Low cost
At Yorkshire Dental Suite we charge £495 per tooth. Compared to other cosmetic dental treatments like porcelain veneers (which have a price tag of £895 per tooth), composite bonding is relatively low cost. We also provide a range of finance options to help you spread the cost of your smile over time.
When is composite bonding not recommended?
Composite bonding is not the right choice for everyone. It may not give you the look you want, or have the longevity you wish for. Alternatively, if any of the following is identified in your initial consultation, your dentist could advise against composite bonding.
- Gum disease: Causes a whole host of issues that makes composite bonding hard to place, like gum recession and wobbly teeth.
- Severely misaligned teeth: The dental resin may look bulky on teeth or even exaggerate the appearance of your malocclusion.
- Missing teeth: Composite bonding cannot be used to fill large spaces left behind by missing teeth.
- Dental trauma: To be suitable for this treatment, at least 3/4 of the tooth still needs to be present.
Most of these issues can be treated by a dental professional, allowing you to be suitable for composite bonding in the future. Please note that any remedial work will add to your treatment timeline and overall spending.
