What is composite bonding in Shepperton?
The resin is moulded and shaped to your tooth or teeth to change the appearance. It can be used in a variety of ways, for example to make small teeth appear bigger, to conceal gaps between teeth or to make uneven teeth appear more uniform. Chips and cracks can be carefully blended away.
Teeth bonding is a painless process that takes about an hour to complete, or longer if you are having more than one tooth treated.
First, your dentist will choose a resin that most closely matches the colour of your teeth. Next, your tooth is prepared by gently scratching at the surface. A conditioning liquid is then applied to your tooth which enables the dental bonding to stick firm. The composite bonding is then gently shaped to your tooth until your dentist, and you are satisfied with the result.
Finally, a laser is used to seal the dental bonding to your tooth so that it cannot fall off.
Composite bonding treatment is reversible, so if you decide later that you want it removed, it can be carried out by a professional dentist.
Many patients from Shepperton and throughout Surrey choose to combine dental bonding treatments with teeth whitening for a completely new smile.

Dental bonding in Surrey FAQs
How do I look after my dental bonding?
The dental bonding will not look any different to your natural teeth, but it is non-porous which means it will stain at a slower rate to your teeth. We recommend limiting the amount of dark-coloured foods and drinks like coffee, curries and red wine to slow down the rate of staining. You should avoid smoking completely.
