FAQs
How long does composite bonding last?
With appropriate care, composite bonding commonly lasts several years. Longevity depends on oral hygiene, bite forces and individual habits.
Is composite bonding painful?
Treatment is typically comfortable and, because bonding is usually additive, removal of healthy enamel is often minimal or avoided altogether. Local anaesthetic is rarely required
Is composite bonding reversible?
In most cases, composite bonding is additive and can be modified or removed if desired. Suitability varies depending on the starting point and the treatment planned.
Do I need a dental check-up before treatment?
Yes. Teeth and gums should be healthy before composite bonding is carried out. A routine check-up with your general dentist is recommended.
Can composite bonding stain or chip?
Composite behaves similarly to natural enamel. Over time it may pick up some staining, and like natural teeth it can chip under force. Minor repairs are usually straightforward.
How long does treatment take?
Composite bonding is usually completed in a single appointment, following consultation and planning.
Aftercare
Composite bonding is fully set at the time of placement, so there is no recovery period.
We recommend:
maintaining good oral hygiene
attending routine dental check-ups
avoiding biting directly into very hard foods
returning for review if anything feels uneven or not quite right
Any dental appliances (retainers, splints and whitening trays) may require updating after bonding.
Minor repairs or refinements are usually straightforward if needed.
