How long does composite bonding last?
Bonding can last between 3 to 10 years if it’s well maintained, after this, you may need to have it replaced, repaired or repolished.
Is composite bonding good for your teeth?
Bonding is a minimally invasive, fairly quick way to improve your teeth. It can be used to repair a small chip, close black triangles between teeth or smooth out uneven edges.
Is composite bonding painful?
Dental bonding is a painless, minimally invasive treatment that provides instant results. You can request that your dentists numb you before treatment if you wish, although this isn’t always necessary.
Can bonded teeth be whitened?
It’s usually recommended that you whiten your teeth ahead of having bonding treatment, so that the bonding used can be matched to your whitened tooth colour.
Can bottom front teeth be bonded?
Composite bonding can be used to improve the look of both your upper and lower teeth as well.
How long does bonding a tooth take?
It usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes to bond one tooth, if you require bonding of more than 1 tooth it should be quicker for subsequent teeth if treated at the same time.
Can I brush my teeth after bonding?
Absolutely, it’s important to ensure that you look after your bonding to ensure that it lasts as long as possible. Brushing for at least 2 minutes, twice a day and flossing / using TePe brushes will help to ensure that your bonding lasts.
Is bonding the same as veneers?
With composite bonding, a material is applied to the surface of your teeth and then cured with a special light, which hardens the material ensuring it securely adheres to your teeth. Veneers, however, are thin, custom-made porcelain restorations that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth, which could involve the removal of some tooth enamel.

Why do gums bleed when you brush?
If you’ve noticed your gums bleeding when brushing your teeth, you’re not alone - and it’s usually a sign your gums are inflamed.
In many cases this happens when plaque builds up along the gum line. The gums become irritated and more fragile, which means they can bleed more easily when brushing.
The good news is that with consistent oral hygiene - brushing thoroughly twice a day and cleaning between your teeth - many people notice improvement within a couple of weeks.
However, if the bleeding continues, it’s worth having it checked. Regular bleeding can sometimes indicate gum disease, and an examination at the practice allows us to assess your gum health and give the right advice.

How long do veneers last?
Veneers are a popular way to improve the shape, colour and appearance of teeth - but a question we’re often asked is how long they actually last.
In this video, Carol explains what patients can typically expect from veneers and the factors that help them last as long as possible. With good oral hygiene, regular dental examinations and careful habits, veneers can look beautiful for many years.
Every smile is different, so if you’re considering veneers, the first step is a consultation where we can talk through your goals and the options available.
If you’d like to find out whether veneers could be right for you, our reception team would be happy to help you book an appointment.

How often should you really visit the dentist?
Many people assume the answer is every six months - but the truth is that it isn’t the same for everyone.
Your ideal recall interval depends on factors such as your oral health, gum health and your personal risk of tooth decay. Some patients only need to visit once a year, while others benefit from coming in more regularly so we can keep everything healthy and catch problems early.
The most important step is attending for an examination so we can assess your oral health and recommend the right recall schedule for you.
Swipe through to learn what influences how often you should visit the dentist - and why personalised care matters.
If you’re unsure when you should next be seen, our team will be happy to help.
