What is composite bonding?
Composite bonding, also referred to as cosmetic bonding or dental bonding, is an incredibly gentle dental procedure aimed at hiding imperfections like chips, cracks, or teeth discolouration.
The bonding process involves your dentist here in Manchester carefully applying, shaping, and sculpting dental composite material onto your natural teeth.
Here at Carisbrook Dental, we take pride in using advanced, aesthetically pleasing composite materials to effectively camouflage any damage to your teeth.

Preparation
The surface of your tooth is prepared by gently etching it using a completely safe acid solution, creating a textured surface that ensures the composite material will adhere to it.
Application
Keep gum disease at bay and make the most of your smile with regular visits to our experienced hygienists. A professional dental clean is much more thorough than brushing your teeth at home, and our comprehensive range of hygiene and gum care will form the foundation of your long-term oral health.
Polish
Following the application and shaping of the composite resin, it is skillfully polished to blend seamlessly with the shine and texture of the adjacent teeth, so you leave Carisbrook Dental with a beautifully natural-looking smile.
Frequently asked questions about composite bonding
Ensuring your new smile lasts as long as possible primarily relies on maintaining good oral hygiene habits. Brush your teeth twice a day and floss and use a mouthwash daily, for added protection.
And don’t forget to attend your regular dental check-ups with us here in Manchester every six months, with regular dental hygiene visits also helping to ensure your composite bonding remains in top condition.
Composite bonding is an incredibly conservative treatment that typically involves minimal alteration to the underlying tooth structure. In most cases, we simply smooth some edges before layering composite over the natural teeth, minimising any risk of nerve damage or discomfort.
The primary concern after composite bonding is the potential for breakage if proper post-treatment care isn't followed. However, the good news is that composite bonding can be repaired if needed.
Undergoing a teeth whitening treatment at Carisbrook Dental before beginning the composite bonding process will enable your dentist to match the composite material with your newly whitened teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural appearance.
After the treatment, we will provide you with a custom-made retainer to wear nightly. This helps protect the composite bonding should you grind your teeth and can also be used to maintain the whiteness of your teeth over the long term. It's a convenient way to keep your smile looking bright and beautiful!
