Composite bonding is a dental procedure used to improve the appearance of teeth. In this procedure, your dentist applies a tooth-coloured resin material to your tooth surface, moulding and shaping the material to create a uniform, whitened appearance. Bonding can fix cracked, chipped, misaligned, and discoloured teeth.
It’s also helpful in closing gaps between teeth. Composite bonding is a permanent, cost-effective, and minimally invasive procedure used to enhance your smile. It looks natural and takes only one or two visits to your dentist to complete.
People who undergo composite bonding tend to be very happy with the results. They feel better about their smiles and are happy with their investment. If you’re on the fence about moving forward with composite bonding to improve your teeth, these before and after stories can help you determine if the procedure is right for you.
Closing the Gap and Restoring Confidence
The first patient we’ll discuss is a young woman who felt self-conscious about her smile due to the gap between her two front teeth. Although she’d been reassured throughout her life that the gap wasn’t that noticeable, it didn’t matter because she felt insecure and wasn’t happy with what she saw when she looked in the mirror and smiled.
After researching her options, she decided composite bonding was likely her best choice. She was happy with the simplicity of the procedure and loved that the transformation was immediate.
Repairing Chipped Teeth After an Accident
The next story is of a gentleman who experienced a dental injury while playing basketball. His tooth was chipped when a teammate accidentally elbowed him in the face. He was left with an uneven smile that caused him embarrassment and discomfort.
He initially considered veneers because a friend had undergone that procedure and was left with a perfect smile, but after researching composite bonding, he decided that was the better and more economical solution for him.
After a careful colour-matching process, we rebuilt the missing portion of the affected tooth. The procedure left him with a restructured tooth that was a perfect match to his natural teeth. It was impossible to see any difference between the repaired tooth and the rest of his smile. The patient was thrilled with the result, and his confidence was restored.
From Stains to a Stunning Smile
Our final story is from a patient with a great deal of discoloration on several of her front teeth. She’d lived with the discoloration for most of her life – probably since her adult teeth grew in. She’d tried over-the-counter whitening products, but nothing seemed to work.
Her embarrassment about the colour of her teeth was so intense that she’d never smiled in pictures with her lips parted. After hearing about composite bonding, she decided it might be what she’d been waiting for her entire life.
After meticulously shaping and polishing the composite material onto her teeth, the difference was astounding. The staining was gone, and her smile was as perfect as she’d always hoped it could be. She called the procedure life-changing, and after several weeks of practicing, she adjusted to a more comfortable, open-mouthed smile that she loved sharing with everyone she encountered.
Why Is Composite Bonding a Great Option?
Composite bonding is very popular for people hoping to improve their smiles, even after years of experiencing discomfort and embarrassment. The benefits of composite bonding include:
- Minimally invasive: Composite bonding requires no drilling, nor will you need to undergo the removal of any of your existing tooth structures. This isn’t the case with other repair options like crowns and veneers. Bonding preserves your natural tooth structure, improving upon the appearance of the treated teeth.
- Fast: Bonding is an efficient procedure that can be completed within a visit or two to your dentist. You’ll enjoy immediate results, and there’s no healing or adjustment period after the procedure.
- Affordable: Bonding is one of the most affordable cosmetic dental procedures. This makes it accessible for people who have had to live with a smile they don’t love due to the prohibitive cost of other procedures.
- Natural: Composite resin is custom-shaded to match your natural teeth, ensuring that the final result blends into your existing smile.
