Composite Bonding in Billericay
Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental treatment used to improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, discoloured, misaligned, or have small gaps. It's a quick, minimally invasive procedure that uses a tooth-coloured resin material to enhance your smile.
How Treatment Works
- Consultation and Planning: We start with a thorough consultation to understand your goals and assess your teeth. We’ll discuss what you’d like to change, and determine if composite bonding is the right option for you.
- Colour Matching: We carefully select a shade of resin that matches your natural teeth to ensure seamless, natural-looking results.
- Tooth Preparation: In most cases, no anaesthetic is needed. The surface of your tooth is gently roughened and treated with a conditioning liquid to help the bonding material adhere securely.
- Application of Composite Resin: We apply the tooth-coloured composite resin in layers, shaping and sculpting it to the desired look—whether it’s closing a gap, reshaping a tooth, or repairing a chip.
- Curing the Material: A special blue light is used to harden the resin quickly, bonding it firmly to your tooth.
- Final Shaping and Polishing: Once the resin has hardened, we fine-tune the shape and polish it to match the natural sheen of your other teeth, giving you a smooth, natural finish.
