Composite Bonding

Subtle Improvements with Precision Composite Bonding

Breakdown: careful placement of composite resin to improve the shape of the teeth and the appearance of chips, cracks, and gaps.

Life Benefits: enhancement of your smile, resulting in improved confidence. Composite resins are available in a variety of shades and are carefully matched to your teeth, creating a natural appearance.

Appointments: from 1-2 appointments. More appointments may be required depending on complexity.

What is Composite Bonding?

Composite bonding uses composite resin carefully matched to your tooth shade to improve the appearance of your front teeth.

Composite bonding involves the following steps:

Examination and Treatment Planning
An in-depth examination of your teeth is performed to ensure your teeth are not suffering from decay or gum disease prior to treatment. We may take photographs to assess your smile fully and allow for a thorough treatment plan. We may also take records of the teeth to create a ‘trial smile’, which allows you to visualise the final result, as well as assess your bite and speech. You and your dentist will select a shade of composite resin that matches your natural tooth shade for treatment.

Composite Placement
Composite resin is carefully placed piece by piece to address the smile imperfections you wish to improve. A visible blue light is used to set the composite in place.

Finishing Touches
Your teeth are polished to give a beautiful tooth-like shine that mirrors real tooth enamel. This can take 1-2 visits to complete. Your teeth will be polished immediately after composite placement, and final touches and secondary polishing are carried out 2 weeks later as this allows the composite to reach its full hardness.

TREATMENT

What is the method for bonding?

Bonding is a simple technique that involves moulding and shaping a putty-like substance onto the tooth and then curing it with ultraviolet light.

This very hard substance is contoured and polished until the desired finish is achieved. It requires much skill to match the colour and shape of the tooth exactly so it looks natural, but the results are remarkable.

Advantages

Non-invasive procedure.
Very versatile.
Fast results.
Relatively inexpensive.
Reversible.

Disadvantages

Can chip or stain.
It cannot be used on very discoloured teeth.

Key Facts

Number of appointments: Usually one.
Duration of treatment: Varies according to the number of teeth being treated. Approximately half an hour per tooth.
Life expectancy: Approximately 3-5 years, after which time bonding may begin to discolour and stain.
Recommended uses: A variety of minor problems, e.g. closing gaps and repairing chips.

We saw Kalpana today for an emergency appointment for my son, and she was incredible with him from start to finish! She talked him through what was happening which eased his uncertainty, and although he had to have a tooth removed, he left not apprehensive about returning! She is a gem!!

I can honestly say this tooth implant has changed my life. I finally feel confident smiling again, and the result looks so natural that no one would ever know. From start to finish, everyone was incredibly kind, helpful, and professional, which made the whole experience so reassuring. I’m beyond grateful for the care I received and couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone considering dental implants.

Had an excellent appointment with RAFIK today for a tooth extraction. He took the time to explain the procedure in detail and really put me at ease. Considering how nervous I had been the process couldn't have gone more smoothly and that was down to his expertise and genuine kindness. Honestly the best dentist I've seen. Thank you.

I was extremely nervous and anxious about having my wisdom tooth extracted. I really got my self into a bit of a, state over it. RAFIK was absolutely amazing. He talked me through the whole process and reassured me all the way. He was so gentle despite it being an extremely difficult tooth to extract. Through the whole process he checked how I was doing. I was extremely impressed by his kindness and expertise. What a brilliant doctor of dentistry x highly recommend RAFIK.

I've had several procedures with Dr.Hashim over the past few months since joining Houstons, and they've all gone really smoothly and pain free. Always greeted with a friendly face, and everything is explained well in terms of what is happening with your teeth, any procedures you need, and any costs. It's also really easy to get an appointment that fits around you. Every member of staff is helpful and polite, from receptionist to dental assistant.Dr.Hashim is a great dental therapist, with a friendly and gentle manner. He is an absolute credit to the Houstons team. Being someone that was always terrified of the dentist before joining Houstons, I now go into appointments no longer feeling like a anxious wreck. I feel like I've always been in a safe pair of hands with him, and I can't thank him enough for all of his care with sorting my smile out these last few months 😌

“I had a great experience with Dr Bossy. She is very confident and straightforward, which I really appreciate because it made me feel like I was in safe hands. She explains everything clearly, makes sure I understand the treatment, and doesn’t waste time. Her attention to detail and professionalism are excellent. If you want someone who knows exactly what they’re doing and will guide you firmly toward better dental health, Dr.Bossy is the right choice!”

I attended Houstons Dentist in Weston-super-Mare. I was seen by Dr Bosy Matthews and her assistant Aji. I wanted to share the incredibly good service I received from both. Dr Bosy was very professional, upfront and honest. Throughout the consultation she shared the scans, took extra x-rays when needed to get a more clear insight into what the right treatment pathway was for my teeth (she was trying to go for the least invasive which I very much appreciated). They were also very accommodating. When I explained I was going away and so needed to fit in my filling before I left, Dr Bosy scheduled me into her lunch break so I can be treated before I left, rather than having to wait a few weeks without treatment. I was both surprised and very grateful that they offered to do this for me. It speaks to the high level of patient care they have. I wanted to convey my sincere thanks for the excellent service I received and so decided to leave this review. I should note I am an NHS patient too, not a private one. So this extra care was not motivated by money at all. Just genuine kind people who offer excellent service, going above and beyond!

After 20 years of being a patient, I had to use another dentist when they were in transition a while ago. On the off chance I called in as was allowed to re-register. Today I had a fairly substantial clean and some surface fillings. My treatment byHannah and her assistant was nothing short of extraordinary, she was so gentle and had the patience of a saint. I'm so glad to be back in the loop. The practice manager and the three different receptionists I spoke to were helpful and pleasant. Five stars all round from me.

I had a fantastic experience at Hustons Dental Practice with Dr. Simran Osahan and her assistant Kayleigh Griffiths. From the moment I arrived, they both made me feel incredibly welcome and at ease. They were polite, professional, and explained everything clearly, which really helped me feel comfortable throughout the appointment.The work was carried out with great care—nothing felt rushed, and it was clear they take pride in doing things properly. Their communication was excellent from start to finish. I highly recommend Simran, Kayleigh, and the whole team at Hustons. Thank you both for making my visit such a positive one!
