What Is Composite Bonding?

Composite bonding is a conservative option for teeth that are chipped, cracked, or discolored. It can reduce unsightly gaps between teeth, replace worn enamel or minimize the fading of natural tooth color.

Bonding is a process where a composite material is added to existing tooth structure. While not as durable and long-lasting as porcelain veneers and onlays, remarkable improvements in appearance can be achieved through bonding if performed by a dentist who is an expert with its use. When used by Dr. Hunt, the translucent composite resins can be matched to your existing teeth for a natural color and beautiful aesthetic result.

Am I a Candidate for Bonding?

Bonding is an excellent solution for addressing minor imperfections, such as gaps, chips, cracks, discoloration, or uneven tooth length.

Treatment can typically be completed in just one visit and doesn’t require extensive preparation for crowns or veneers. During your consultation, Dr. Hunt will carefully assess your smile and discuss the best treatments to achieve your desired results.

What to Expect with Bonding

Composite bonding and contouring at Hayes Barton Dentistry typically takes one visit. Most patients don’t need anesthesia, but sedation options are available for those with dental anxiety.

Dr. Charlotte Hunt applies bonding material, hardens it with a curing light, and shapes it to match your teeth for a beautiful smile. After treatment, avoid staining foods, drinks, and tobacco for 48 hours. Care for bonded teeth like natural ones—regular brushing, flossing, and mouthwash will maintain your results.
