Composite Bonding

Book Appointment

Composite bonding is a minimally invasive cosmetic dental treatment used to improve the appearance of teeth. It is commonly recommended to repair small chips, refine uneven edges, close minor gaps, and reduce visible discolouration, helping to create a more balanced and natural-looking smile.

At Dental Atelier, patients considering composite bonding in Wapping benefit from a personalised approach focused on preserving natural tooth structure. Using advanced adhesive techniques, a tooth-coloured composite resin is carefully applied, sculpted, and polished to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.

This treatment is typically completed in a single visit, making it a convenient option for those looking to enhance their smile without extensive dental work.

Procedure

Step 1

Consultation and Assessment

Treatment begins with a detailed consultation. The dentist will assess your oral health, discuss your concerns, and determine whether composite bonding is suitable for your needs. The desired shape and shade are also planned at this stage.

Step 2

Tooth Preparation

In most cases, little to no preparation is required. The tooth surface is gently conditioned to help the bonding material adhere effectively, preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible.

Step 3

Application of Composite Resin

A tooth-coloured composite resin is carefully applied to the tooth. The material is added in layers and shaped with precision to correct imperfections such as chips, gaps, or uneven edges.

Step 4

Curing and Hardening

Once the desired shape is achieved, a special curing light is used to harden the composite material, ensuring it bonds securely to the tooth.

Step 5

Finishing and Polishing

The bonded tooth is refined and polished to create a smooth surface and natural sheen, allowing it to blend seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.

Everyone at Dental Atelier London was friendly and helpful and I was happy with my treatments. I was quite anxious about my treatments (implant and veneer) but the dentists made me feel at ease. They made sure I understood everything and made sure I was happy with everything. The receptionist was also really friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend

I came at Dental Atelier London for just one implant after checking 3 different clinics.. I had an absolutely great experience. I have chosen Dental Atelier London because the specialist goes straight to the point, no one in the clinic is wasting their time about trying to sell you treatment you didn't come for. Even when I had an emergency 2 days before Christmas the specialist did everything to see me at the clinic despite he was on holidays. I live now on the other side of the city but I will keep them for my regular hygiene check. Thank you so much for everything, I can finally now eat normally !
