The process begins with gently roughening the tooth surface and applying a special conditioning liquid to help the resin bond effectively. Next, our skilled Lancaster cosmetic dentist will apply the composite resin, shaping and sculpting it to achieve the desired aesthetic. A high-intensity curing light is then used to harden the material, locking it into place. The result? A beautifully enhanced, natural-looking smile that blends perfectly with your existing teeth.

At Viva Dental in Lancaster, we combine artistry with advanced dental techniques to deliver bonding results that are both functional and beautiful. Whether you’re making minor improvements or transforming your smile, composite bonding is an excellent choice.

FAQ's

What’s the difference between composite bonding and veneers?

Composite bonding involves the application of a tooth-colored resin material to the surface of the tooth. Veneers are thin shells made of porcelain or composite material that are custom-made to fit over the front surface of the tooth. Veneers usually require some enamel removal to ensure a proper fit and are generally more durable, but their higher price reflects this. Composite bonding is usually a more cost-effective solution.
Can I get a teeth whitening treatment on composite bonding?

Yes, if your material has become stained or discolored, a teeth whitening treatment can be performed to restore the natural brightness of it. It is important to consult with your dentist to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
Is this a painful treatment?

While some patients may experience mild sensitivity or discomfort during the procedure, it is typically well-tolerated. Local anesthesia can be used to numb the area if necessary.
How long does composite bonding last?

On average, it can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years. However, with proper care and regular dental check-ups, it is possible for it to last even longer.
Can composite bonding fix a crown?

While composite bonding is effective for correcting minor dental imperfections such as chips, cracks, and gaps, it is not typically used to fix a crown. If your crown is damaged or needs to be replaced, come and talk to us about the most appropriate solution.
Is composite bonding suitable for everyone?

Your suitability depends on the condition of your teeth, your desired outcome, and your oral health. For individuals with severely damaged or decayed teeth, other dental treatments such as crowns or veneers may be more appropriate. Additionally, individuals with certain oral health conditions, such as gum disease or tooth sensitivity, may need to address these issues before undergoing composite bonding.
