However, for multiple teeth or more extensive bonding procedures, the appointment may last longer. We will assess your individual situation and provide a more precise timeframe during your consultation.

In many cases, composite bonding can be completed in a single dental appointment. The process typically involves preparing the teeth, applying the composite resin material, shaping, and sculpting it to achieve the desired appearance, and then curing it with a special light to harden the bonding. With advancements in dental technology and techniques, many dentists can perform composite bonding efficiently and effectively within a single session, providing immediate results.

Composite bonding is completely pain-free, which is part of the reason why it is so popular with many patients looking for an effective, and cosmetic repair. None of your natural tooth structure or enamel needs to be removed to make way for the treatment so you will feel no pain or discomfort.

Composite is invulnerable to bacteria and decay, but the natural tooth underneath isn’t. Great oral hygiene at home will keep your tooth lasting for as long as possible.
