Composite Bonding in Bournemouth

Not at all, and we can normally do it all in one appointment without drilling or injections.

Composite bonding can totally transform your smile. Here are a few things it can do:

• Improve the shape of your teeth
• Make your teeth whiter, especially if teeth whitening hasn’t worked for you
• Straighten your teeth if you have mild crowding
• Replace silver fillings and make them invisible
• Fix chips and fill in spaces between teeth
• Close up a big space between front teeth
• Restore worn teeth if you’ve ground them down

Unlike porcelain veneers, composite veneers can normally be applied in one appointment and teeth need little to no preparation. They are also less expensive and easy to repair or replace. Best of all, they are completely pain-free and rarely require drilling or injections.

However, composite veneers don’t last as long as porcelain veneers and can chip or stain more easily. Both have advantages and disadvantages but don’t worry; we’ll help you make the right choice for you.

After composite bonding, you need to care for your teeth as you would normally, cleaning them twice daily and flossing/using interdental brushes daily. It is also important to attend your regular dental checkups, so our team can look after your bonding.

Avoid smoking and chewing tobacco, as this can cause staining. Such stains are tough to remove and may even result in the dental bonding needing to be repeated. Eating a lot of curries and drinking excessive tea and coffee, red wine (sorry) and other dark liquids can also cause the dental bonding composite to stain. 

Avoid chewing hard foods directly with the composite areas, as this can cause them to chip. And don’t chew pens or bite your nails — and never open bottles (or anything else) with your teeth!

After composite bonding in Bournemouth, the composite material will typically last between five and seven years. After this time, it’ll need to be completely replaced. How long it lasts depends on how well you look after your teeth after composite bonding, and regular professional hygiene visits are essential.

This is normal; don’t worry about it. It’ll take a few days for everything to settle in and then you will no longer notice the composite bonding.

Composite bonding in Bournemouth is from £375 per tooth. Composite Veneers and Composite Edge Bonding are both solutions to add height width and fullness to tooth shapes. There is no “one size fits all” package; this is why you can take your first steps for free to find out about a bespoke smile makeover.

Your teeth may be more suited to dental crowns or veneers than composite bonding. Everyone is unique and we will always advise you of all of your options.

We use an array of top-quality composite products. Our cosmetic dentists in Bournemouth love G-aenial and Empress Direct. These are matched to the colour of your teeth and artistically hand-crafted to perfectly blend in with your natural teeth.

Unlikely. Teeth aren’t usually sensitive after the composite bonding. If you do experience some sensitivity, this is nothing to worry about and will likely settle down after a few days.
