Composite bonding has been a procedure in cosmetic dentistry, and it's increasingly popular. If you don't know about it today, you will later on. Most of our patients opt for composite bonding treatment at the Walk-in clinic. The procedure doesn't take much time; in less than or within 1 hour, you will get a better and healthier smile, which is why the treatment is highly sought after.
What exactly is composite bonding?
The aim of this treatment is to enhance your teeth aesthetics. How? Composite bonding doesn't treat any specific dental issue; it is simply cosmetic! That is why it is often called cosmetic bonding.
During this treatment procedure, a fine composite material will be used to smooth and fill up gaps, rough edges, chips, and other imperfections in your teeth. Again, composite bonding can make chipped and worn-out teeth stronger.
A professional dentist can even cover your present teeth with the composite material to create a new and improved shape. The change your teeth need may be minor, or in other cases, your whole teeth have to be covered up; in which case it becomes a composite veneer.
What to expect during composite bonding
In addition to being flexible, composite bonding is a straightforward and quick cosmetic procedure. Since composite bonding is comparatively easy, a pro dentist can complete your treatment within one hour. But the duration of treatment depends on how much work is involved. How? Smoothing chipped teeth will definitely take less time than getting a complete set of composite veneers.
For those scared of needles, there is no need to worry as most cases of this procedure requires no anaesthetics. The composite material used to correct your teeth is soft to an extent and easy to mould over your teeth. But immediately it sets, and both you and your dentist are satisfied with the look, a special activating light is used to harden the material for day to day teeth activities.
Your dentist can make any necessary adjustments, and you can begin to enjoy your new smile and teeth.
