Composite Bonding

At Halo Dental, we provide composite bonding in Sevenoaks to help restore and improve the appearance of your smile. This treatment is a simple, safe, and effective way to address chips, gaps, and minor imperfections without invasive procedures. Many patients choose composite bonding as it offers natural-looking results in just one appointment.

What is Composite Bonding?

Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental treatment where a tooth-coloured resin is carefully applied to the teeth to improve their shape, size, or colour. The material is moulded and polished to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Unlike crowns or veneers, composite bonding usually requires little to no removal of tooth enamel. It is a versatile solution that can repair chips, close small gaps, and disguise discolouration while maintaining the health of your natural tooth.

Benefits and Suitability

Composite bonding in Sevenoaks is suitable for patients looking to enhance their smile without lengthy treatments. It is ideal for:

• Repairing chipped or cracked teeth
• Reshaping uneven edges
• Reducing gaps between teeth
• Covering stains or discolouration

The treatment is minimally invasive and does not require anaesthetic in most cases. At Halo Dental, we ensure every step is comfortable, safe, and tailored to your needs. Patients often appreciate how quickly they can see results, typically in a single visit.

The Treatment Process

During your appointment, your dentist will first match the composite resin to your natural tooth shade. The tooth surface is then gently prepared before the resin is applied in layers. Each layer is shaped and hardened using a special light. Once the desired look is achieved, the material is polished for a smooth, natural finish. The process usually takes 30-60 minutes per tooth and requires little to no downtime.

Aftercare & Next Steps

After composite bonding, you can return to your usual routine straight away. Good oral hygiene and regular check-ups will help maintain your results. Avoid biting hard objects to prevent damage.
