Composite Bonding in West Bridgford

Composite bonding at Hilton Dental

Composite bonding is a minimally invasive way to repair chipped, discoloured, or decaying teeth, without causing any damage to the tooth. The process of composite bonding involves a tooth-coloured composite resin being added to your chipped or broken tooth, which is then carefully shaped, sculpted, and polished to look exactly like your other teeth.

Composite bonding can help to repair:

• Broken, chipped, or misshapen teeth
• Uneven spaces or small gaps between teeth
• Discolouration or stains that aren’t removable
• Cases of sensitivity caused by gum recession
• Teeth that are suffering from minor tooth decay

In addition to his dental qualification and years of experience, he has completed a two-year training programme in specialist implant dentistry at the Royal College of Surgeons of England – the gold standard qualification in dentistry specific to dental implants.

He has also been awarded the advanced certificate in implant surgery in recognition of his additional surgical skills in block bone and maxillary sinus grafting, making it possible for implants to be placed in areas where there has been extensive bone loss after tooth removal. Dr Missan is one of only a handful of dentists to have received this recognition in the UK, so you know your smile is in the safest, most experienced hands with Hilton Dental.

The benefits of composite bonding

There are lots of reasons why composite bonding is a great solution to broken or chipped teeth over other restorative dental treatments.

Cover imperfections

Composite bonding is an easy way to fix any minor imperfections, boost your confidence, and renew your smile.

Minimally invasive

Because composite resin is moulded straight onto the tooth, there’s no need for pain relief or drilling of the tooth.

Quick treatment

Composite bonding is a straightforward treatment, which means it can usually be carried out in just one appointment.

Long lasting

If you take good care of your restored teeth, you can expect your composite bonding to last five to seven years.

Composite bonding treatment process

We’ll have an initial consultation with you to discuss your smile goals, and create a unique treatment plan to start your journey to a beautiful smile.

Composite bonding doesn’t involve any drilling to the tooth or require a numbing injection, so in most cases it can be done in just one appointment.

The treatment process:

1. We start by selecting the colour of the material to use for your composite bonding that will match your other teeth, and suit the results you want to achieve.
2. From there, we gently scratch the tooth’s surface and coat it with bonding liquid, which helps the composite bonding material to attach and stay on your tooth.
3. We then apply the composite resin onto your tooth and sculpt it so that it matches your other teeth, and then use an intense ultraviolet light to safely harden it.
4. Once the resin has hardened, we’ll further shape, sculpt, and polish the tooth so it matches the natural surface of your other teeth.
