Composite Bonding Leicester
If you’re looking to enhance your smile with a minimally invasive, quick, and effective treatment, composite bonding might be the perfect solution for you.
What is Composite Bonding?
Our composite bonding in Leicester is a straightforward procedure where we apply a tooth-coloured resin to your teeth. We then shape and polish it to blend perfectly with your natural teeth, so it looks completely seamless. This treatment is great for fixing things like chips, cracks, gaps, and discolouration.
Benefits of Composite Bonding
Minimally invasive
It is a procedure that often requires little to no removal of natural tooth structure. This means your teeth remain largely intact, promoting better long-term dental health.
Quick
Most composite bonding procedures can be completed in a single dental visit, offering immediate results without the need for multiple appointments or extended treatment times.
Pain-free
Composite bonding is typically a pain-free procedure, meaning you can achieve a more beautiful smile without discomfort during or after the treatment!
Natural look
The tooth-coloured resin closely mimics the look of natural teeth, providing a seamless and natural appearance. It’s challenging to distinguish bonded teeth from your real teeth!
What is the Composite Bonding process?
We’ll start by discussing what you’d like to fix with composite bonding. Once we’re confident that this treatment can achieve your goals, we’ll begin the process.
1.
Preparation of teeth
First, we apply a bonding agent to your tooth. This agent helps the composite resin adhere better, ensuring a strong bond.
2.
Resin application
Next, we apply the tooth-coloured composite resin to your tooth. This resin is then carefully sculpted to address issues like cracks, gaps, or small teeth. We mould it to match the natural shape and contour of your tooth.
3.
Hardening the resin
Once we’re happy with the shape and appearance, we use a special curing light to harden the resin. This light quickly solidifies the resin, making the fix immediate and durable.
4.
Shaping & polishing
Finally, we make any necessary adjustments to ensure your bite is comfortable and the bonded tooth looks perfect. The area is polished to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, giving it a smooth, shiny finish.
And that’s it! In just one visit, you’ll walk out with a beautifully enhanced smile. If you’re ready to get started, contact us today to schedule your consultation.
What can Composite Bonding fix?

Gapped teeth
If you have small gaps or spaces between your teeth, composite bonding can fill these gaps
Chipped teeth
Minor cracks or fractures can be effectively treated with composite bonding
Misshapen teeth
Teeth that are irregularly shaped or too short can be reshaped and lengthened with composite bonding
Frequently asked questions - Composite Bonding
Composite bonding is generally painless. The procedure typically doesn’t require anaesthesia unless it’s being used to fill a decayed tooth. Most patients experience little to no discomfort during and after the treatment.
To maintain your composite bonding, practice good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day and flossing daily. Avoid biting on hard objects, and reduce the consumption of staining foods and drinks like coffee and red wine. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are also important.
The composite resin used in bonding doesn’t respond to teeth whitening treatments. If you’re considering teeth whitening, it’s best to do it before getting composite bonding. Alternatively, the bonding material can be replaced to match the new shade of your whitened teeth.
Composite bonding and veneers both enhance the appearance of teeth, but they have key differences. Composite bonding is less invasive, typically completed in one visit, and more affordable. Veneers, usually made of porcelain, are more durable and stain-resistant but require more tooth preparation and are generally more expensive
Composite bonding can be applied to most teeth, but it’s commonly used on front teeth that are more visible when you smile. It’s less frequently used on molars, which endure more pressure from chewing. Your dentist can advise you on the best treatment options for all areas of your mouth.
