What to expect during your composite bonding procedure in Portsmouth

Whether you’re dealing with a chipped tooth, a cracked tooth, or unwanted gaps, composite bonding is an excellent solution. Your composite bonding treatment will be performed with meticulous care and precision by our skilled dental professionals. The process involves the following key steps:

Tooth preparation: The tooth’s surface is carefully prepared to optimise the bonding process. This involves gently drying the tooth and applying a specialised etching gel. This gel creates a slightly roughened surface, which is essential for a strong and durable bond between the composite material and your natural tooth structure.

Composite application: The composite resin, carefully selected to match the shade of your natural teeth, is applied in thin, precisely placed layers. This layering technique allows us to sculpt and shape the composite to achieve the desired aesthetic result, restoring the tooth’s natural contours and appearance.

Curing: A specialised curing light is used to harden and set the composite material. This light activates the resin, transforming it into a solid, durable structure that is seamlessly integrated with your tooth.

Polishing and finishing: The final step involves meticulous polishing of the bonded area. This ensures a smooth, natural-looking finish that mimics the lustre and texture of your adjacent teeth, providing a beautiful and long-lasting restoration.

Looking after your restored tooth

Composite is invulnerable to bacteria and decay, but the natural tooth underneath isn’t. Great oral hygiene at home will keep your tooth bonding last for as long as possible.

You may require maintenance on your restoration, particularly if you like to drink tea or coffee or enjoy other food and drinks that stain your teeth. This can easily be monitored at your regular check-ups with us.
