To see how composite bonding fits into the range of options available for changing a smile
Smile designFor answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about composite bonding, please take a look at our videos below.
Composite bonding is an investment in your smile, so a little extra care goes a long way in keeping it looking its best.
Keep up with your regular dental health assessments and hygiene visits, and floss carefully between your bonded teeth to avoid a build-up of staining. If regular floss is tricky, ask your hygienist about interproximal brushes instead.
Steer clear of whitening toothpaste, as it can scratch the surface of the bonding and dull its shine. If you’d like to brighten your other teeth, professional whitening prescribed by your dentist is the way to go.
You can eat normally, but it’s worth being a little cautious with anything your teeth aren’t designed for: biting cotton or sellotape, chewing pen lids, or using your teeth to open bottles can all put unnecessary strain on your bonding. The same goes for very hard foods like crusty baguettes.
If you’ve been given a protective bite guard for grinding, wearing it every night will help your bonding last much longer.
And, of course, smile as much as you like. That’s what it’s there for!

Smile designIn a nutshell, composite bonding is where a resin material (the same material used for white fillings on back teeth) is applied to teeth to repair them or change their shape in some way. It can also be used to change their color. This is a non-invasive treatment, meaning teeth are not damaged during the process.
When this material is used to cover the whole of the front surface of a tooth, it is commonly termed a composite veneer.
