Composite bonding, also known as adhesive/aesthetic bonding, is a procedure that can make simple repairs on the teeth. They’re a cost-effective and non-invasive solution compared to other complicated ones such as dental implants, crowns, and veneers. Although they are fairly uncomplicated treatments, composite bonding provides a strong and durable repair that can last for years when taken care of properly.
Our dental clinic in Calgary offers composite filling that can address the following flaws and damages to the teeth:
- Gaps
- Discolouration
- Chips and cracks
- Shape and length
- Dental emergencies for children and adults
What to expect with the composite bonding procedure
Although composite bonding is a temporary fix to common teeth problems, it adds strength and can improve the overall aesthetic of your smile. During the procedure:
- Your dentist uses a colour palette or shade guide to match your teeth’s natural colour.
- A special blue light or laser is used to harden and affix the composite resin coating to your tooth.
- The composite filling, which is typically made of resin and quartz, effectively repairs the teeth while providing protection against further damage.
- The filling firmly adheres to the teeth’s dentin and enamel.
Composite bonding requires no surgery, anesthetics, or recovery time. However, they do not last as long as other cosmetic procedures. Fillings also tend to stain more easily and may need to be touched up sooner if you smoke or drink coffee and red wine.
The benefits of composite bonding treatment
With that said, composite bonding is an excellent and affordable option for repairing simple dental problems. Some of the benefits of composite bonding include:
- Natural-looking results – With today’s dental technology, fillings are more natural-looking than ever. No one will know you’ve had a composite bonding treatment done because your dentist will closely match the colour of the filling to your natural teeth.
- Quick and painless – Unlike other complex treatments, composite bonding requires no tooth preparation, surgery, drilling, or anesthetics. The procedure is done in one sitting in our dental clinic with little to no lab work and minimal prep time.
- Cost-effective – Other procedures such as veneers and dental implants are costly and the expense is often the reason patients delay treatment. Composite bonding is an affordable option that can transform your smile without spending thousands of dollars. A composite filling requires no teeth impressions, custom colour matching, or lab work, making them significantly less expensive than other treatments.
