Composite bonding at New Ash Green Dental & Aesthetics is a quick, non-invasive solution to enhance your smile.
It repairs chips, gaps, discoloration, and minor misalignments, using tooth-coloured resin for natural-looking, long-lasting results that boost your confidence.
Composite bonding is performed by our experienced cosmetic dentists, skilled in creating natural-looking enhancements. The treatment begins with a consultation to discuss your goals and assess suitability.
Often patients whiten their teeth prior to composite bonding. During the procedure, the dentist selects a composite resin shade that matches your natural teeth for seamless results. The tooth surface is lightly etched and conditioned to ensure the resin adheres properly. The dentist carefully applies, sculpts, and smooths the resin to repair chips, close gaps, or reshape teeth. Once the desired shape is achieved, the resin is hardened using a special curing light. Final adjustments and polishing are made to ensure a flawless finish, leaving you with an enhanced, radiant smile.
Composite bonding at New Ash Green Dental & Aesthetics offers a quick, affordable solution for repairing and enhancing your smile.
- Non-Invasive: Requires minimal tooth preparation, preserving natural structure for a comfortable and straightforward treatment experience.

Composite bonding provides immediate results, with visible improvements achieved during a single appointment. Composite bonding typically lasts 5-7 years, depending on factors like oral hygiene, lifestyle habits, and the extent of bonding performed.
To maintain results, avoid biting hard objects, nail-biting, or chewing on ice, which can damage the resin. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings help prolong the bonding’s lifespan. Over time, the composite may wear, stain, or chip, requiring touch-ups or replacement. Maintaining good oral habits ensures your bonded teeth remain functional and
attractive for years, offering a durable and cost-effective solution for minor cosmetic concerns.
FAQs
Is composite bonding treatment painful?
Composite bonding is generally a pain-free procedure. You might experience slight sensitivity to temperature changes immediately after the bonding process, but this usually resolves within a few days. Modern techniques and materials ensure a comfortable experience and beautiful results.
What aftercare is needed following my appointment?
To maintain your composite bonding, practice good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing daily with non-abrasive toothpaste. Avoid biting into hard objects like ice, pens, or fingernails to prevent damage. Be mindful of staining foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, and red wine, as composite resin can stain over time. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings will help preserve the appearance and longevity of your bonding. Follow any specific care guidelines provided by your dentist.
Are there any treatment side effects?
Side effects from composite bonding are minimal. You might notice brief sensitivity to hot or cold foods after treatment, which typically resolves quickly. Rarely, you may experience slight gum irritation, which usually subsides as your gums adjust. Maintaining proper oral hygiene and visiting your dentist regularly will help ensure your bonding stays in great condition.
