How does composite bonding work in Dunstable?
At the first consultation we will talk through what you’d like to change about your teeth and discuss the process for composite bonding.
At your next appointment, your dentist will choose a resin colour that closely matches your natural tooth colour so that it looks completely natural.
Your dentist then prepares your tooth by gently etching at the surface and coating it in a special liquid. The resin is then applied to the surface of the tooth and gently moulded and shaped into place.
Once you and your dentist are happy with the results, a curing light is placed over your mouth to fix the dental resin in place.
Finally, your dentist will finish the treatment by polishing your teeth to ensure that they are lovely and smooth.
Dental bonding is often completed in just one appointment with your dentist. The number of appointments needed will depend upon how many teeth you’re treating, and the complexity of the work carried out.
