The Procedure

What is the process?

Consultation: We’ll begin by understanding your goals and assessing your smile. We’ll discuss how composite bonding can help and explain the entire process.
Preparation: Minimal preparation is needed. We lightly roughen the tooth surface to ensure the bonding material adheres properly. In most cases, no anaesthesia is required.
Bonding: A tooth-coloured resin material is applied to the teeth and shaped to match your natural smile. This allows us to fix imperfections like chips or gaps.
Curing: Once the resin is shaped and smoothed, a special light hardens the material, making it strong and durable.
Polishing: The bonded area is polished to blend seamlessly with the rest of your teeth, leaving you with a natural, flawless finish.

Transform Your Smile with Composite Bonding

Common Concerns Addressed

Composite bonding is an effective solution for several common dental concerns, helping to enhance your smile with minimal discomfort and downtime. Here’s how it can help:

Chipped or Cracked Teeth: Bonding can quickly restore the shape and function of teeth that have been chipped or cracked, blending seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
Gaps Between Teeth: If you have small spaces between your teeth, bonding can close them up for a more even, natural-looking smile.
Discolouration: Bonding can mask stains or discolouration, giving your teeth a brighter, more uniform appearance.
Uneven Teeth: Composite bonding can reshape teeth that are slightly misaligned, uneven, or disproportionate to enhance the overall appearance of your smile.
Worn Teeth: If your teeth are worn down due to grinding or other factors, bonding can build them up again, restoring their length and structure.

Achieve a natural-looking smile in just one visit.

Although a double appointment with the Hygienist is not my idea of fun, Rihanna and her Assistant were as usual very pleasant and took care to carry out the various procedures with care and ensure my comfort and provide good advice for future dental hygiene. Inverleith Dental practice can be recommended for care. .

I had an excellent hygiene appointment today with Brianna and Peter.They were very professional and the level of cleaning was second to none. I appreciated the advice that was given at the end of the appointment regarding my at home care.Thanks!

I had a great experience at Inverleith Dentalcare. John McAleavey was very thorough during my check-up and used a camera system to create a 3D scan of my teeth, showing where plaque had built up, which was really helpful. Briana, the hygienist, did an excellent job, leaving my teeth feeling very clean. Overall, I was very pleased with the service and would recommend Inverleith Dentalcare, especially John and Briana.

Really happy with this dental practice. Chris Fowles is an excellent dentist. He takes time to explain treatment and options and also explains what he is doing during check ups and treatments, so nothing comes as a surprise. Great for anxious patients.

I would very highly recommend the Inverleith Dental clinic. They are very professional and really knowledgeable. The admin staff is very helpful and will get you the information that you need to make a decision abo the best treatments you need. Dr. John McAleavy is excellent. He was also very knowledgeable about my TMJ issues and he was really understanding during the appointment and he sign posted me to the tools I needed; this made me feel that he cares about my progress and the best outcome for my case. Overall, I had a great experience and I can confidently say that will come back to Inverleith for any follow ups and future dental needs.

Highly recommend to anyone.

I met with Dr John McAleavey as a new patient for a consultation about my complex dental health situation. I'm a nervous patient and was instantly at ease on entering the practice. John really listened to my background story and quickly spotted the source of my problems that had been missed by other dentists. My assessment was the most rigorous I've ever received, yet very gentle. John took the time to explain everything thoroughly and clearly. I left the practice with a sense of peace that I'd found the answers I'd been seeking, and confident I was in the hands of expert professionals. I'd recommend them to anyone.

I was anxious before my first appointment with Inverleith Dental - my dentist of 25 + years had retired and I needed a practice nearer home - but I should not have worried!The welcome from the receptionist was lovely - The initial conversation with the dentist was very helpful - I learned about the ethos of the practice and felt I was being listened to - in addition this chat took place before the mouth examination so I was not in the reclining position which can put the patient at a disadvantage!The receptionist was most helpful with my mobility problems on leavingThe beautiful Georgian building is a bonus

I found Inverleith Dentalcare as I needed emergency dental treatment. They were very accommodating and managed to allocate an appointment the next day. Their service is second to none with professional and caring staff, dentists take the time to explain the procedure to the patient, and use modern standard techniques, materials and treatments. Worth every recommendation.

Your Questions Answered

Composite Bonding FAQs

How long does composite bonding last?

With proper care, composite bonding can last between 5-10 years. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene are essential to maintain the results.

Does composite bonding hurt?

Composite bonding is a non-invasive and pain-free procedure. Most patients don’t require anesthesia, and you’ll be comfortable throughout the treatment.

Can composite bonding fix large gaps between teeth?

While composite bonding can fix minor gaps, larger gaps may require other treatments such as orthodontics or veneers. We’ll discuss your options during your consultation.

How do I care for my teeth after composite bonding?

After composite bonding, it’s important to follow a few simple steps to ensure the longevity of your treatment:

Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Brush your teeth gently twice a day with a soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Floss daily to remove plaque and food particles from between your teeth.
Avoid Hard or Sticky Foods: Refrain from chewing hard foods, ice, or sticky candies that could damage the bonding material.
Protect Your Bonding: If you’ve been instructed to wear a splint, be sure to wear it as directed, especially at night. This helps protect the bonding from grinding or clenching.
Regular Checkups: Keep up with your regular dental visits so we can monitor the condition of your composite bonding and address any issues promptly.

By following these care guidelines, you can enjoy the benefits of your composite bonding for years to come.

Will the bonding material stain?

Yes, composite resin can stain over time, especially with frequent consumption of coffee, tea, wine, or tobacco. However, maintaining good dental hygiene and regular professional cleanings can help keep your smile bright.

Is composite bonding reversible?

Yes, composite bonding is reversible because it doesn’t require removing significant enamel from your teeth, unlike other treatments like veneers or crowns.
