Is tooth bonding painful?
Composite bonding is a pain free treatment, it doesn’t always require an injection and there is no drilling of your natural tooth material. Composite resin is applied using adhesives and a visible blue light to bond the material to your tooth. It is then shaped and polished to create a beautiful, long lasting result, enhancing your smile in just one appointment.
How long does tooth bonding last?
It can last up to 5-7 years if you have regular healthy mouth reviews with your dentist and hygienist. It may need re-polishing occasionally, but this is a simple process carried out by your dentist or hygienist during your regular appointment. You should avoid things such as very hard food, crunching ice cubes and similar substances to ensure the composite material doesn’t crack. The general rule of thumb is that if it can break your teeth, it can damage your bonding. You also should not bite your nails, use your teeth to open things or bite items such as pens.
Does tooth bonding break easily?
Occasionally it can chip or separate from your real tooth, as not as strong as natural tooth material, you need to ensure that you take care of your bonded teeth to maintain them. Even if your bonding does chip, it’s easy to restore and can usually be repaired in one visit to the dentist.
Does it ruin your teeth?
No, it doesn’t have any major risks and does not affect the natural enamel of your teeth, it is a minimally invasive treatment, which means that your natural tooth is preserved, therefore, it remains undamaged.
Can I whiten my teeth with composite bonding?
If you plan on whitening your teeth, we advise that this is done prior to any bonding as we would match the shade of your teeth to the bonding. It is important that you do not whiten for 2 weeks prior to bonding as the whitening can temporarily affect the bond strength. Once you have had bonding, you may still be able to whiten if the majority of your tooth is not covered by the composite.

Can chipped teeth be fixed without braces? In this latest Two Thirty episode, Carol explains that the answer depends on why the tooth chipped in the first place.
Sometimes teeth chip because of the way they meet or their position. In these cases, orthodontic treatment may be recommended to move the teeth into a healthier position and help prevent further damage.
For many chips, a simple and effective option is composite bonding - carefully adding tooth-coloured material to rebuild the shape and restore your smile.

Bleeding gums are never something to ignore. In this latest Two Thirty episode, Richard explains how gum disease often starts as gingivitis - where the gums become swollen and may bleed - but with the right care, this early stage can often be reversed.
If left untreated, gum disease can progress and may lead to bone loss around the teeth. The good news is that regular hygiene visits and good home care can make a real difference.
Watch the video to learn the signs to look out for and how we can help you maintain a healthy smile.
