What are composite veneers?

Composite veneers or composite bonding, are layers of filling material that covers the front part of the anterior teeth to improve aesthetics. It requires no tooth reduction. Unlike traditional veneers, composite veneers can be completed in a single office visit. They are a cost-effective alternative to porcelain veneers and provide immediate results for a brighter and more confident smile.

Dental bonding process

The composite bonding process is quite straighforward, can be done during a single office appointment and does not require anesthetic. The enamel of the teeth is conditioned to receive layers of composite resin which are applied and shaped on top. After being cured with a UV light, the material is polished and glazed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long composite bonding last?

Composite bonding typically lasts for several years, and its longevity can vary based on various factors such as dentist expertise, oral hygiene, eating and parafuctional habits.

On average, composite bonding can last between 5 to 10 years with proper care. Regular dental check-ups and maintenance can help prolong the lifespan of the bonding. It's essential to follow good oral hygiene practices, avoid biting hard objects, and refrain from habits like nail biting to ensure the durability of the bonded teeth.

Is Composite Bonding Ideal for You?

Composite bonding suitability depends on individual factors.

Our expert dentists in Melbourne will assess whether composite bonding is the right fit for you by considering:

Tooth Location: Composite bonding works best for upper anterior teeth. While it can be applied to lower teeth, this practice isn't highly recommended. Porcelain is the material of choice for lower jaw veneers.

Teeth alignment: Minor misalignments can be effectivelly corrected with composite bonding. However, severe crowding or crossbites are a contraindication for this procedure.

Tooth Size: Small teeth requiring a significant amount of composite for restoration are more prone to fracture. These teeth would be better treated with a porcelain crown of veneer to achieve longer-lasting results.

Teeth shade: Dental whitening is always recommended before getting composite bonding. If the background colour is bright, the veneer can be made using a enamel-like material, resulting in superior cosmetic outcomes. If whitening isn't performed and you wish to enhance your smile with composte bonding, the material used will have to be more opaque, potentially making your teeth appear artificial. If you are satisfied with your teeth's colour, composite bonding can be matched to this shade.

Teeth damage Severity: The extent of the dental damage or imperfection is crucial. Teeth that have undergone root canal therapy are more suitable for porcelain crowns to prevent potential reinfection of the root canal over time.

We understand that each patient is unique. If you have specific questions or uncertainties regarding composite bonding, our team is here to provide the answers and guidance you need!

What is the composite Bonding Process?

Here's what you can expect during the composite bonding process:

1. Consultation and Examination:
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation and examination with our skilled dental professionals. We'll discuss your smile goals, assess the areas requiring treatment, and determine if composite bonding is the ideal solution for you.

Various suitable shades will be presented and tried on your teeth for your selection. Teeth mesurements to find the golden proportion of your smile will be calculated.

Our dentist will precisely apply the tooth-colored composite resin onto the teeth. The composite material is carefully shaped and sculpted to correct imperfections such as chips, gaps, discoloration, or misshapen areas.

4. Bonding and Curing:
Once the resin is in place, a special light is used to bond and harden the material onto the tooth. This curing process ensures the composite resin adheres securely, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Our skilled dentist will meticulously sculpt and shape the bonded resin to achieve the desired aesthetics and natural appearance. The surface is then polished to a smooth finish, ensuring a flawless look.

Can composite bonding be whitened?

Composite bonding itself cannot be whitened once it's in place.

If you're considering teeth whitening, it's often recommended to undergo the whitening procedure before composite bonding. This allows you to achieve your desired tooth shade, and then the composite material can be color-matched to your newly whitened teeth.

It's essential to discuss your teeth whitening goals and composite bonding options with our cosmetic dentistry team. We can create a personalized treatment plan to achieve the smile you desire while ensuring a natural and harmonious appearance between your composite bonding and your overall tooth shade.
