Direct Composite Bonding Treatment Procedure

At London Dental Specialists, our direct composite bonding treatment is a precise, artistic procedure performed in a single visit to transform your smile. Our skilled dentists carefully apply tooth-coloured composite resin material directly to your teeth to enhance their appearance and structure.

The Treatment Process:

1. Tooth Preparation: We gently clean and prepare the tooth surface, ensuring optimal bonding.


2. Shade Selection: We choose the perfect composite shade to match your natural teeth.


3. Application of Bonding Agent: A special adhesive is applied to create a strong bond between your tooth and the composite material.


4. Composite Application: We carefully layer and sculpt the composite resin to achieve the desired shape and appearance.


5. Curing: A high-intensity light is used to harden and set the composite material.


6. Shaping and Polishing: We meticulously shape and polish the bonded area for a natural, seamless finish.

Key Benefits of Our Direct Composite Bonding:

• Single-Visit Procedure: Complete smile transformation in just one appointment


• Minimally Invasive: Preserves your natural tooth structure


• Immediate Results: Walk out with a visibly enhanced smile


• Customisable: Tailored to your unique dental needs and aesthetic goals


• Reversible: Can be easily modified or removed if desired

What to Expect During Your Treatment:

The entire procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes per tooth, depending on the complexity of the treatment. Our dentists use high-quality composite materials that are durable and stain-resistant, ensuring beautiful, natural-looking results.

Aftercare and Maintenance:

To ensure the longevity of your direct composite bonding, we recommend:

• Maintaining excellent oral hygiene


• Avoiding staining foods and beverages for the first 48 hours


• Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings


• Using a soft-bristled toothbrush to prevent scratching the composite surface

At London Dental Specialists, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional results with our direct composite bonding treatments. Our expert dentists combine technical skill with an artistic eye to create natural-looking enhancements that boost your confidence and transform your smile.

Post Direct Composite Bonding Treatment Care

Proper aftercare is essential for maintaining your direct composite bonding results and ensuring they last as long as possible. At London Dental Specialists, we provide comprehensive guidance on how to care for your newly enhanced smile following your treatment.

Immediate Aftercare (First 48 Hours):

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


• Skip highly pigmented foods like berries, curry, and tomato-based sauces


• Be cautious with temperature extremes that could affect the setting of the composite material


• Refrain from biting hard objects such as pens, fingernails, or ice

Long-Term Care Recommendations:

To maximise the lifespan of your direct composite bonding, we recommend the following practices:

Potential Issues to Watch For:

• Chipping or fractures - Contact us promptly if you notice any damage


• Staining or discolouration - May require professional cleaning or polishing


• Rough edges - Can often be smoothed during a quick appointment


• Changes in bite comfort - Should be addressed to prevent further complications

With proper care, direct composite bonding typically lasts 3-10 years before requiring touch-ups or replacement. The longevity depends largely on your oral hygiene practices, dietary habits, and whether you have habits like teeth grinding.

Follow-Up Appointments:

At London Dental Specialists, we schedule a follow-up appointment approximately two weeks after your direct composite bonding procedure. This allows us to:

• Assess how the bonding has settled


• Make any necessary adjustments


• Address any questions or concerns you may have


• Provide additional aftercare advice tailored to your specific situation

Our commitment to your smile doesn't end when you leave our clinic. We're here to support you throughout the lifetime of your direct composite bonding, providing expert maintenance and care to keep your smile looking its best.
