Composite Bonding in Sutton

Looking to improve the shape or appearance of your teeth? Composite bonding uses tooth-coloured resin to make subtle changes to suitable teeth, helping address small chips, uneven edges and minor gaps.

At Grove Road Dental Practice in Sutton, we can assess your teeth, discuss the result you would like to achieve and explain whether composite bonding is right for you.

Your Bonding Appointment

How Does Composite Bonding Work?

Your appointment begins with an assessment of your teeth and a discussion about the changes you would like to make. If bonding is suitable, your dentist will select a composite shade that complements your natural teeth.

The resin is applied, shaped and hardened using a curing light before being refined and polished. The exact process depends on the teeth being treated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Composite Bonding FAQs

How long does composite bonding last?

Composite bonding can last for several years, but its lifespan varies depending on your bite, oral habits and how well you look after your teeth. Repairs or replacement may be needed over time.

Does composite bonding damage natural teeth?

Bonding often requires little or no removal of natural tooth structure. However, some preparation may be needed depending on your teeth and the planned result. Your dentist will explain this before treatment.

Can composite bonding become stained?

Yes. Composite resin can pick up stains over time, particularly from habits such as smoking or frequent consumption of strongly coloured drinks. Good oral hygiene and regular dental care can help maintain its appearance.

Is composite bonding suitable for everyone?

Not always. Suitability depends on your oral health, bite and the changes you want to achieve. Your dentist may recommend treating existing dental problems or considering another option first.
