    Treatment Procedures for Dental Bonding

    The dental bonding procedure involves carefully applying a tooth-coloured composite resin to repair damaged teeth or improve their appearance. During your treatment at London Dental Specialists, our dentists follow a precise, methodical process to ensure optimal results.



    The treatment begins with surface preparation, where we gently roughen the tooth's surface and apply a conditioning liquid to help the bonding material adhere effectively. This creates the perfect foundation for the composite resin to bond securely to your natural tooth.



    Next comes the artistic application phase, where our specialists:




    • Select the perfect shade to match your natural teeth

    • Apply the putty-like resin in precise layers

    • Carefully mould and shape the material

    • Use a special blue light to harden each layer



    The final refinement stage involves meticulously trimming, shaping, and polishing the bonded area until it perfectly matches the lustre of your natural teeth. This attention to detail ensures the bonded tooth looks completely natural and feels comfortable.



    Most dental bonding treatments take 30-60 minutes per tooth to complete. The procedure is typically painless and rarely requires any anaesthetic unless we're treating a decayed tooth or working near the nerve.



    Aftercare is straightforward, though you should avoid staining substances like coffee, tea, or tobacco for the first 48 hours while the bonding fully sets. With proper care and regular dental check-ups, your dental bonding can maintain its appearance for several years.



    For the best results, we recommend:




    • Maintaining excellent oral hygiene

    • Avoiding biting hard objects or foods

    • Regular dental check-ups

    • Using a soft-bristled toothbrush

    Post Treatment Care for Dental Bonding

    Post-treatment care for dental bonding is essential to maintain the longevity and appearance of your newly bonded teeth. Proper maintenance can help your dental bonding last up to 10 years with the right care and attention.



    During the first 48 hours after treatment, we recommend:



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

    • Skip hard or sticky foods that could damage the bonding material

    • Maintain regular oral hygiene but brush gently around the bonded areas



    For long-term care, we advise:



    • Brush twice daily with a non-abrasive toothpaste

    • Floss daily with care around bonded teeth

    • Avoid biting nails or chewing on hard objects like pens or ice

    • Regular dental check-ups every six months

    • Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to prevent scratching the bonding material



    Contact our dental team immediately if you notice:



    • Sharp edges on the bonded tooth

    • Chips or cracks in the bonding material

    • Unusual sensitivity that persists

    • Changes in your bite alignment



    At London Dental Specialists, we're committed to supporting your oral health journey. Our team is always available to address any concerns about your dental bonding treatment and provide guidance on maintaining your restored smile.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Our Dental Bonding in London, UK

    Considering Dental Bonding? We understand you may have questions. Our team of dental specialists, including a Periodontist, Endodontist and Orthodontist along with our team of Dental Therapists and Nurses are here to guide you through the process.
    What is dental bonding and how can it improve my smile?

    Dental bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure where a tooth-coloured resin material is applied and hardened to your natural teeth, effectively improving their appearance and structure. This versatile treatment can repair chipped or cracked teeth, close small gaps, mask discolouration, and even change the shape of teeth for a more harmonious smile.



    The procedure is one of the most conservative cosmetic dental treatments available, typically requiring minimal removal of tooth enamel. At London Dental Specialists, the process involves carefully matching the resin colour to your natural teeth, applying a conditioning liquid to help the bonding material adhere, and then sculpting the resin to achieve the desired shape before hardening it with a special blue light.




    • Treatment time: 30-60 minutes per tooth

    • Recovery time: Immediate

    • Durability: 3-10 years with proper care



    Common Applications:



    • Repairing chipped or cracked teeth

    • Closing small gaps between teeth

    • Improving the shape of uneven teeth

    • Covering stains or discolouration

    • Protecting exposed root surfaces



    Aftercare Tips:



    • Avoid tea, coffee, and red wine for the first 48 hours

    • Maintain regular dental hygiene practices

    • Use a soft-bristled toothbrush

    • Avoid biting hard objects or foods

    • Schedule regular check-ups for maintenance



    For optimal longevity of your dental bonding, we recommend avoiding habits that could compromise the bonding material, such as nail-biting or using teeth as tools.
