Edge Bonding: from £150 per tooth
Your Castlebawn dentist will help you select the shade of resin that suits you.
They will then slightly roughen the tooth surface and apply a conditioning liquid that will help the bonding material adhere to the surface.
Once the bonding material is in place, your dentist will use ultraviolet light to harden it so it can be polished and shaped.
The best part is the process can be completed in roughly an hour. However, if you are having multiple teeth bonded it may require more than one visit.
As long as you take care of your newly restored teeth the bonding resin can last a very long time. However, the composite resin used is not as strong as your natural tooth and it can chip away over time or break off completely. It might be a good time to reconsider some habits, especially if you chew on ice or pens, or bite your fingernails!
Not at all. In fact, unlike fillings or other cosmetic treatments, your dentist does not have to remove any part of your tooth so they won’t need to use an anaesthetic or numbing gel.
When you compare the cost of bonding a tooth to other treatments such as crowns and veneers it can be a very effective option. Bonding is also far less intrusive and invasive since material is being added to your tooth, rather than altered or removed.
Your dentist will explain your options and help you make the choice that’s right for you.
Look after your teeth and they’ll look after you
It’s important to give your newly bonded teeth the same amount of care and attention as your natural teeth to help make them last.
Because the bonding material can be prone to staining, we recommend that you limit your consumption of substances that can stain, such as tea, coffee, cigarette smoke and wine .
It’s especially important to avoid consuming staining foods for the first 48 hours after any composite procedure.
When to contact your dentist
