Bonding - Bioclear composite before and after

Thinking about bonding? FAQs

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.

We’re excited to invite you to a special event we’re hosting at Evolve Dentistry on Monday 15th December, and we’d love for you to be part of it.

From 10am to 3pm, we’ll be running a Cyclathon at the practice to help raise funds for Bridge2Aid, a charity providing vital emergency dental care and training in communities that need it most.

This year, our very own Carol Somerville Roberts is taking on the incredible Peaks to Plains Safari Cycle Challenge in Tanzania, and this event is part of her fundraising efforts.

How you can get involved:

🚴‍♂️ Hop on a bike – join us for a few minutes (or more!) and help us cover as many miles as possible.

💙 Come along to cheer us on – your support means so much.

📱 Make a donation on the day – we’ll have SumUp, cash collection, and QR code donation options available.

If the weather is kind, we’ll be cycling outside Evolve; if not, we’ll set up indoors, so the event will go ahead either way.

Whether you’re keen to pedal or just pop by to show your support, we’d absolutely love to see you there. Every mile and every pound makes a real difference to the communities Bridge2Aid supports.

Thank you in advance for your kindness and encouragement — it means the world to us and to Carol.

✨ What is amalgam removal — and when do we use the SMART protocol?

In this video, Carol Somerville Roberts explains what amalgam removal involves and the different options available to patients.

Some patients choose to have their amalgam fillings replaced for cosmetic reasons, while others request that the removal is carried out using the SMART protocol. 

For those who request the SMART protocol, it provides an enhanced approach designed to minimise exposure during the procedure, with additional safety measures for both patients and our team.

If you’re considering having your amalgam fillings replaced — with or without the SMART protocol — our team is here to guide you through your options. 💙
