What is Composite Bonding?

Composite bonding is a versatile cosmetic dental procedure that uses a tooth-colored resin material to repair and enhance your teeth. The resin is carefully applied and sculpted to match the shape and color of your natural teeth, creating a seamless and natural-looking restoration.

Composite Bonding Can Address:

  • Chipped or cracked teeth
  • Minor gaps between teeth
  • Stained or discolored teeth
  • Misshapen or uneven teeth
  • Exposed tooth roots due to gum recession

The Composite Bonding Procedure: Quick & Painless

Composite bonding is a minimally invasive procedure that can often be completed in a single visit to our Leduc clinic.

  • Preparation: We’ll gently clean and prepare the surface of your tooth, ensuring proper bonding of the composite resin.

  • Resin Application: The tooth-colored resin is carefully applied and sculpted to match the shape and contour of your natural tooth.

  • Curing & Polishing: A special light is used to harden the resin, and then we’ll polish it to a smooth and natural-looking finish.

Benefits of Composite Bonding

  • Natural-Looking Results: The composite resin is carefully matched to the color of your natural teeth, creating a seamless and virtually invisible repair.

  • Minimally Invasive: Unlike veneers or crowns, composite bonding requires minimal removal of your natural tooth structure.

  • Quick and Convenient: The procedure can often be completed in a single visit, saving you time and minimizing disruption to your schedule.

  • Cost-Effective: Composite bonding is a more affordable option compared to other cosmetic procedures like veneers or crowns.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does composite bonding last?

With proper care, composite bonding can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years or even longer. The longevity of your bonding depends on factors such as the size and location of the restoration, your oral hygiene habits, and your diet. Regular dental checkups and cleanings can help ensure your bonding remains in good condition.

Is composite bonding a good alternative to veneers?

Composite bonding can be an excellent alternative to veneers for minor cosmetic imperfections or repairs. It’s less invasive, more affordable, and often requires only one visit. However, for more extensive smile transformations or severely damaged teeth, veneers may be a more suitable option. We can discuss the pros and cons of each treatment during your consultation to help you make an informed decision.

  • Tobacco use (smoking, chewing tobacco)
  • Heavy alcohol consumption
  • Excessive sun exposure to the lips
  • Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection
  • A family history of oral cancer
  • What are the symptoms of oral cancer?

Common symptoms of oral cancer include:

  • A sore or lump in the mouth that doesn’t heal
  • Red or white patches in the mouth
  • Unexplained bleeding in the mouth
  • Numbness or pain in the face, mouth, or neck
  • Difficulty chewing or swallowing
  • Persistent sore throat or hoarseness
  • What happens if something abnormal is detected during the screening?

If we detect any suspicious areas during your screening, we’ll recommend further evaluation. This may involve a biopsy (removal of a small tissue sample for testing) or referral to a specialist for further assessment and treatment.

 

Can composite bonding be used to whiten teeth?

While composite bonding can improve the color of stained or discolored teeth, it’s not a substitute for professional teeth whitening. If you’re looking to brighten your entire smile, teeth whitening may be a more effective option. However, bonding can be a great way to address isolated stains or discoloration on individual teeth.

Does composite bonding require any special care?

Caring for your composite bonding is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Brush twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste, floss once a day, and avoid biting on hard objects or using your teeth as tools. Regular dental checkups and cleanings are also crucial for maintaining the health of your bonding and preventing future cavities.

Is composite bonding covered by insurance?

Insurance coverage for composite bonding can vary depending on your specific plan and the reason for the procedure. If the bonding is considered restorative (e.g., to repair a chipped tooth), it may be partially or fully covered. However, if it’s purely cosmetic, it may not be covered. Our team can help you understand your insurance benefits and explore any available coverage options.
