Composite bonding

In nature, there are creatures whose teeth can be replaced dozens of times throughout their lives. For example, sharks are able to constantly regenerate their teeth, providing ideal conditions for survival. Unfortunately, humans do not have such privileges, and a lost or damaged tooth remains a problem that affects appearance, chewing function, and even overall health.

Modern dentistry offers a solution – composite bonding, which allows restoring both function and aesthetics of teeth. Gallant Clinic provides a professional approach and amazing results for this procedure.

Indications for composite bonding

Restoration at Gallant Clinic is performed in the following cases:

• Damage – destruction caused by tooth decay, trauma, or injury;
• Wear – restoring shape in cases of bruxism;
• Disproportion or small size – correction of shape and length;
• Large gaps – eliminating diastemas and spacing;
• Enamel defects – treating chips, cracks, and stains.

The optimal bonding method is selected by the dentist after consultation. Contact Gallant Clinic for professional solutions to dental problems.

Methods of composite bonding

There are several composite bonding methods, each suitable for specific clinical cases.

Posts

A post is a special metal or ceramic element inserted inside the root to reinforce the structure. It is used when the tooth is severely damaged. Depending on care, it can last up to 10 years.

The process includes:

• Preparation of the root canal;
• Placement of the post inside the canal, serving as a base for further crown bonding.

Posts provide strength and reliable fixation of the restoration.

Crowns

Crowns are used to restore significantly damaged teeth. They cover the entire tooth, protecting it from further destruction.

Types include:

• Metal-ceramic;
• Ceramic;
• Zirconia.

Crowns withstand substantial loads.

Veneers

These thin overlays are placed on the front teeth to improve appearance.

Advantages include:

• Maximum natural look;
• Minimal intervention in healthy tissues.

Veneers are mostly used for front teeth to achieve a perfect smile.

Composite bonding procedure

First, a preparatory process begins with consultation and diagnostics:

• X-rays or panoramic imaging to assess the condition of the root and bone tissue;
• Developing an individual treatment plan.

Then, the dentist performs the procedure itself.

Procedure execution

The procedure is done under local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort. Duration depends on case complexity — from 30 minutes to several hours. Preparation and restoration include:

• Treating tooth decay (if needed) and applying adhesive materials;
• Bonding with composite material;
• Shaping the tooth form;
• Curing with light.

The procedure finishes with polishing and smoothing to achieve perfect gloss and smoothness. Photopolymer or veneers are used for aesthetic zones, crowns for chewing teeth.

Post-procedure care

It’s important to maintain oral hygiene and avoid excessive load to preserve function and aesthetics. The doctor will provide recommendations for care of restored teeth:

• Avoid hard foods during the first 24 hours;
• For the first week, avoid staining foods and drinks (black tea, coffee, cola, juices, etc.);
• Use fluoride toothpaste for sensitive enamel;
• Regular dental check-ups for preventive care.

Proper care will help maintain results for many years.

Benefits of composite bonding

The composite bonding procedure has many advantages making it an attractive option for many patients. It allows not only restoration of function but also improvement of appearance, positively affecting overall health and confidence:

• Aesthetics: teeth look natural;
• Functionality: restoration of chewing and correct bite;
• Psychological comfort: confidence in your smile improves quality of life.

Additionally, composite bonding is a quick and relatively affordable restoration method.

Possible complications and risks

Like any dental procedure, restoration may have some risks:

• Infection – possible if hygiene standards are not met;
• Material rejection – allergic reactions to components;
• Increased sensitivity – temporary and usually resolves within days.

Avoid risks by choosing a qualified specialist. Gallant Clinic uses only certified materials and modern equipment.

How much does composite bonding cost?

Cost depends on the extent of damage. If only a small chip broke off, the price will be slightly higher than a regular filling. If the tooth is completely destroyed, it affects the cost. Expenses include materials, anesthesia, and doctor’s time. Even with post and crown restoration, the procedure is cost-effective compared to prosthetics or implants.
