Restore Your Confidence with Composite Bonding
Enhance your smile in a single visit with our minimally invasive composite bonding treatments.
Understanding Composite Bonding
Composite bonding is a versatile cosmetic dental treatment designed to improve the appearance of your teeth without the need for invasive procedures. It involves the application of a tooth-coloured composite resin material to the surface of the tooth, which is then sculpted, hardened, and polished to a natural finish.
At Narraweena Smiles, we use bonding to correct minor aesthetic imperfections, restoring both the function and beauty of your smile in just one appointment.
We use a high-quality shade guide to select a composite resin that blends perfectly with the colour and transluceny of your adjacent teeth, thereby ensuring a natual-looking teeth.
Common issues composite bonding can fix:
- Repairing chipped or cracked teeth
- Closing small gaps (diastema) between teeth
- Masking tooth discolouration or staining
- Reshaping teeth that are too short or uneven
- Protecting exposed roots caused by gum recession
WHY CHOOSE COMPOSITE BONDING?
Patients love composite bonding because it offers a significant smile transformation with minimal disruption to their daily lives. Here is why it might be the right choice for you.
Instant Results (One Visit)
Unlike crowns or veneers which require lab work, bonding is typically completed in a single appointment. You can walk in with imperfections and leave with a rejuvenated smile the same day.
Minimally Invasive
Bonding requires little to no removal of your natural tooth enamel. It is a gentle procedure that often requires no anaesthetic, making it an excellent option for anxious patients.
Cost-Effective Solution
Composite bonding is one of the most affordable cosmetic dental treatments available, offering a high-impact aesthetic improvement at a lower entry cost compared to porcelain veneers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is composite bonding safe and painfree?
Yes — it’s a minimally invasive procedure that preserves most of your natural tooth structure. It’s safe and widely used for cosmetic and restorative purposes.
How long does composite bonding last?
With proper care, composite bonding typically lasts between 5 to 7 years. Its longevity depends on your oral habits; avoiding biting on hard objects (like ice or pens) and maintaining good hygiene will help extend the life of your bonding.
Can I whiten my teeth after bonding?
The bonding material does not change colour with whitening treatments. If you plan to whiten your teeth, we recommend doing so before the bonding procedure so we can match the resin to your new, brighter shade.
How much does composite bonding cost?
The cost depends on how many teeth are treated and the complexity of the work. As a general guide the cost ranges between $250–$550.
Is there any maintenance required?
- Brush and floss as usual
- Avoid staining foods or drinks immediately after treatment
- Attend regular dental check-ups to ensure long-term results
PERSONALISED COMPOSITE BONDING TREATMENT
At Narraweena Smiles, we treat bonding as an art form. Your dentist acts as a sculptor, carefully layering the material to mimic the natural texture and light reflection of real enamel.
Custom Sculpting & Layering
- The process is straightforward and comfortable:
- Shade Selection: We choose a resin shade that perfectly matches your natural teeth.
- Preparation: The tooth surface is gently roughened to help the material adhere.
- Application: A conditioning liquid is applied, followed by the putty-like resin.
- Sculpting: The dentist moulds and smooths the resin into the desired shape.
- Polishing: After curing with a special light, the tooth is polished for a smooth, natural shine.
CARING FOR YOUR BONDED TEETH
To keep your new smile looking its best, simple maintenance is required. While modern composite resin is durable, it is not quite as strong as natural enamel or porcelain.
- Brush twice daily and floss regularly to prevent decay around the bonding.
- Avoid staining foods and drinks (like coffee, red wine, and tea) for the first 48 hours.
- Do not use your teeth as tools to open packaging, bite nails, or chew ice.
- Visit us for regular check-ups so we can polish the bonding and ensure it remains intact.
