Cosmetic Contouring with Bonding Treatment Procedures

At London Dental Specialists, our cosmetic contouring with bonding treatment combines two highly effective techniques to transform your smile. This procedure involves carefully reshaping your teeth and applying tooth-coloured composite resin to enhance their appearance.

The Contouring Process:

Our skilled dentists begin by gently reshaping your tooth enamel using specialised tools. This process involves:

• Removing small amounts of enamel to improve tooth shape and symmetry


• Smoothing rough edges or slight overlaps


• Adjusting tooth length for a more balanced smile

The Bonding Procedure:

Following contouring, we apply tooth-coloured composite resin to further enhance your smile. This involves:

1. Preparation: Roughening the tooth surface and applying a conditioning liquid to ensure strong adhesion


2. Application: Carefully layering and shaping the composite resin to achieve the desired form


3. Curing: Using a special light to harden and bond the material to your tooth


4. Polishing: Refining and smoothing the bonded area for a natural-looking finish

Benefits of Combined Contouring and Bonding:

• Minimally invasive treatment with immediate results


• Versatile solution for various cosmetic concerns


• Natural-looking improvements to tooth shape, size, and colour


• Cost-effective alternative to more extensive treatments

Our expert dentists at London Dental Specialists ensure a comfortable and efficient procedure, typically completed in a single appointment. The result is a beautifully enhanced smile that looks and feels natural.

Aftercare and Maintenance:

To maintain your newly improved smile, we recommend:

• Regular dental check-ups and cleanings


• Good oral hygiene practices


• Avoiding habits that may damage the bonded areas, such as biting hard objects


• Limiting consumption of staining foods and beverages

With proper care, the results of your cosmetic contouring with bonding can last for several years, providing you with a confident, radiant smile.

Post Cosmetic Contouring with Bonding Treatment Care

Proper aftercare is essential for maintaining the results of your cosmetic contouring with bonding treatment at London Dental Specialists. Following these recommended care instructions will help ensure your newly enhanced smile remains beautiful and functional for years to come.

The composite resin used in dental bonding, while durable, requires specific maintenance to preserve its appearance and integrity. Our dental professionals will provide you with personalised aftercare advice tailored to your specific treatment.

Immediate Aftercare (First 48 Hours)

• Avoid staining substances such as coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco


• Steer clear of hard or sticky foods that could damage the bonding material


• Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to clean around the treated areas


• Rinse with lukewarm water after meals if brushing isn't possible

Long-Term Maintenance

To maximise the lifespan of your cosmetic contouring and bonding results, we recommend:

• Regular dental check-ups every 6 months to monitor the condition of your bonding


• Professional cleanings to remove surface stains and maintain oral health


• Daily brushing with a non-abrasive toothpaste to prevent scratching the bonding material


• Flossing carefully around bonded teeth to avoid dislodging the material


• Limiting consumption of staining foods and beverages or rinsing after consuming them

Potential Issues and Solutions

With proper care, cosmetic bonding typically lasts 3-10 years before requiring touch-ups or replacement. The longevity depends on your oral hygiene practices, dietary habits, and whether you avoid damaging behaviours like nail-biting or using teeth as tools.

At London Dental Specialists, we're committed to your ongoing dental health and satisfaction. Should you experience any concerns with your cosmetic contouring and bonding results, our team is always available to provide advice and assistance. Regular follow-up appointments will help ensure your smile remains as beautiful as the day your treatment was completed.
