What is Cosmetic Bonding?
Here at Infinitidental Clinic, we offer a range of cosmetic dentistry treatments to our patients. If you’re looking for cosmetic bonding in Wimbledon, it’s a highly popular treatment amongst our patients due to people caring a lot about what their smile looks like and how it makes them feel. If you’re looking for beautiful cosmetic bonding procedures, our dedicated team of professional Wimbledon dentists is here to help.
Should you have an obvious space between your front teeth (diastema), a chipped tooth, a tooth with an odd shape or rotation that’s making you feel conscious of your smile, then cosmetic bonding may just be the treatment you need. This treatment is used to drastically improve your smile and get your confidence back on track.
At Infinitidental Clinic, our team have performed this type of treatment for years, helping our patients get the best results.
Why Cosmetic Bonding in Wimbledon?
A whole range of benefits why cosmetic bonding in Wimbledon may just be the treatment you’ve been looking for. As well as the obvious benefit, of significantly improving your smile, here are a few further advantages of the treatment, compared to others:
- Cost – unlike many other cosmetic procedures and treatments, cosmetic bonding is actually one of the least costly, yet provides the speediest results. This treatment is a very cost effective way of getting a quick smile makeover.
- Usually completed in a single visit – another great advantage is that it’s likely we will have the procedure completed in a single visit, normally between 1-3 hours depending on the complexity and number of teeth being treated. This means you won’t have to return multiple visits.
- Cosmetic dental bonding can usually last 4-8 years.
- Usually no local anaesthetics required as the process is additive.
- No tooth pain.
- Cost effective way of getting a quick smile makeover
- Minimal tooth preparation required because of the natural process of bonding, we always try and preserve your teeth and only prepare them if we absolutely have too.
- Free consultations and guarantees on treatment plans.
What Aftercare is Necessary?
After treatment, it’s unlikely that you’ll be required to attend our dental practice for a specific review of the bonding treatment. However, we do, of course recommend regular check-up and hygiene appointments. We do this to ensure everything is how it should be and so that we can monitor your cosmetic bonding treatment progress. Due to the adhesive nature of the bonding procedure it is imperative to maintain good oral hygiene at home on a daily basis and visit the hygienist regularly for thorough debridement. From time to time it may be necessary for your dentist to polish the cosmetic bonding as stain may develop at the junction of the bonding and tooth.
In regards to aftercare, we advise all patients to look after their teeth as they normally should. Ensure that you’re brushing your teeth thoroughly, at least twice per day and that you are using floss or interdental brushes between your teeth on a daily basis. Moreover, make sure you’re consciously reducing the intake of food and drink which can stain your teeth e.g. tea, coffee and red wine, as patients that have had cosmetic bonding are more likely to develop stained teeth over time. Reducing your intake of coffee, tea and fizzy drinks, even by 50%, can make a huge impact on the colour of your teeth.
How Long Does Bonding Last?
This is a common question that we get asked by our new and existing patient regularly. There is no simple answer as every person’s dental hygiene, diet, bite, tooth structure and habits are different. However, a tooth coloured bonding can last, on average, anywhere from 4 to 8 years, if properly looked after. Further factors to take into account for durability include the positioning of your bonding and the types of foods you eat on a daily basis. It is very common for patients to clench and/or grind their teeth during their sleep, usually unawares. This can significantly reduce the lifespan of bonding. Fortunately, here at Infinitidental Clinic we have a simple solution, overnight splint protection.
