What is composite edge bonding?
Composite edge bonding is a minimally-invasive cosmetic treatment to improve the appearance of your natural teeth. Your dentist will use tooth coloured composite resin that is matched to the rest of your teeth, to smooth out the edges of your teeth.
What’s the difference between edge bonding and composite bonding?
Composite bonding is the process of improving the appearance of the entire tooth, whereas edge bonding only applies resin to the edge of the tooth.
How long does composite bonding last?
On average, composite bonding lasts approximately 5 years if looked after carefully. The resin can chip as it’s not as hard as your natural tooth material. People often have chipped teeth due to tooth wear and grinding, so you may be advised to have a night guard to protect your bonding and teeth.
Can bonded teeth be whitened?
It is usually recommended that you whiten your natural tooth before having any bonding, this allows the dentist to match the composite material to your whitened tooth. If you have bonding already and wish to whiten your natural tooth, you may need to have your bonding replaced to match your whiter teeth.
Can you floss with composite bonding?
Bonded teeth should be cared for in the same way that your natural teeth are looked after. You should floss between your bonded teeth in the same way that you do with normal teeth.
Does composite edge bonding hurt?
Composite bonding is a pain free treatment, it’s very common to not require any anaesthetic during the treatment process. Natural tooth material is not impacted as the dentist does not drill your tooth.
Can composite bonding be used on front teeth?
Composite bonding is a wonderful way to improve the appearance of all your teeth, particularly front teeth.

Brushing your teeth is important… but it’s only part of the story 🦷
In this video, Richard explains why cleaning between your teeth matters too - and the different ways you can do it, including:
✔ Floss
✔ TePe brushes
✔ Water flossers
Your toothbrush can’t always reach the tight spaces between your teeth, which means plaque and food can build up in these areas over time.
Cleaning between your teeth daily can help reduce:
✨ Gum problems
✨ Bad breath
✨ Tooth decay between teeth
Not sure which option is best for you? There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, and our team can help you find what works best for your smile and lifestyle.

Do you wake up with jaw pain, headaches or tension in your face? You could be clenching or grinding your teeth without even realising it.
In this video, Yasmin discusses how neurotoxin injections may help relieve symptoms associated with TMJ problems and teeth grinding.
For some patients, treatment can help to:
✨ Relax overactive jaw muscles
✨ Reduce clenching and grinding
✨ Ease tension and discomfort
✨ Help with headaches linked to jaw strain
Many people grind their teeth during sleep or clench during stressful periods, often without knowing they’re doing it.
If you’ve been experiencing symptoms such as:
• Jaw ache
• Facial tension
• Headaches
• Worn teeth
• Clicking or tightness in the jaw
…it may be worth exploring your options.

✨ A little update from us at Evolve Dentistry ✨
As many of our patients know, our practice is currently closed this week while essential repair work is being carried out.
While everything is being completed, we’d just like to gently remind everyone not to leave any dental concerns until the last minute where possible. If something doesn’t feel quite right, please get in touch with us sooner rather than later so we can help arrange the most appropriate care for you.
Thank you so much for your patience, kindness and understanding while the work takes place - we’re looking forward to welcoming everyone back very soon. 💙

Did you know? 👀
One of the simplest ways to improve your oral health is cleaning between your teeth every day.
Your toothbrush cleans the front, back and biting surfaces of your teeth - but it can’t always reach the tight spaces in between, where plaque and food can build up.
Using interdental brushes or floss daily can help:
✨ Reduce gum problems
✨ Freshen breath
✨ Lower the risk of decay between teeth
Not sure which products are best for you? Our team would always be happy to help guide you.
Small habits really do make a big difference 💙
