FAQs
Frequently asked questions about composite bonding at Stella Dental
Yes, composite bonding can be removed and replaced if needed. However, the process may involve removing a small amount of the natural tooth structure along with the bonding material.
While composite bonding is non-porous and less prone to staining than natural teeth, it can still stain over time. To minimise the risk of staining, avoid excessive consumption of staining substances like coffee or red wine. Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing daily, and schedule regular visits with our dental hygienist in Nottingham.
Composite bonding is generally a comfortable procedure. Most patients experience minimal to no discomfort during the treatment, as it typically requires no drilling or anaesthetic. You might feel slight sensitivity afterwards, but this usually subsides quickly.
Both treatments involve applying a material to the teeth, but they differ in key ways. Dental veneers are designed to cover the entire tooth with a stain-resistant and highly durable porcelain layer, making them ideal for a bright, uniform smile. Composite bonding, on the other hand, is matched to the colour of your natural teeth and is not intended for whitening. It is used to repair chips or cover small areas of discolouration without covering the entire tooth.
Composite bonding typically lasts between 5 to 10 years, depending on factors such as the location of the bonding, your oral hygiene practices, and any habits like grinding or clenching your teeth. Regular check-ups at Stella Dental and proper care can help extend the lifespan of your composite bonding.
Composite bonding is a popular cosmetic dental treatment among our Nottingham patients due to its quick results and cost-effectiveness. The process begins with preparing the tooth's surface by etching it with a safe acid solution, creating a rough texture that helps the composite material adhere better.
Once prepared, composite resin is applied in layers, each hardened with a special light. This allows your dentist to sculpt and shape the material to achieve the desired form and size.
After shaping, the composite resin is polished to match the shine and texture of the surrounding teeth, resulting in a natural-looking smile. Most cases are completed in a single appointment, with no drilling or anaesthetic required.
