Get the smile you’ve always wanted with cosmetic bonding in Egham. Transforming your teeth with this versatile dental technique is simple and straightforward at the Staines Centre of Dental Excellence.
Cosmetic bonding is a form of cosmetic dentistry that might be referred to as composite bonding or tooth bonding. It’s a popular and relatively affordable dental procedure used to enhance the appearance of your teeth.
Dental bonding can be used to treat imperfections in your natural teeth, such as minor chips, cracks, gaps and discolouration. It can also be used as a form of teeth whitening or minor teeth straightening.
The Staines Centre of Dental Excellence is a short 3-mile drive away from Egham. We offer free consultations for cosmetic dentistry, dental implants and Invisalign teeth straightening.

What is composite bonding in Egham?
Composite bonding involves the application of a tooth-coloured, putty-like resin material to the surface of your tooth. The resin is then sculpted, hardened with a special light, and polished to match the natural shape and shade of your surrounding teeth.
As a form of teeth whitening, a lighter shade of resin than your natural tooth enamel can be chosen. This, however, will only work if you are having composite bonding applied to all of your other teeth.
The bonding procedure is versatile and can address a range of cosmetic dental concerns for our Egham patients. It can be used to repair chipped or cracked teeth, close gaps between teeth, reshape or re-contour misshapen teeth, and even cover discoloured or stained teeth.
How does it work?
During your dental bonding, the tooth surface is roughened and a conditioning liquid is applied to help the bonding material adhere securely. The composite resin is then applied in layers and carefully sculpted to achieve the desired shape and contour.
Finally, the resin is hardened using a special curing light. Once treatment is complete, the bonded tooth is polished to blend seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
The Benefits of Cosmetic Bonding
Non-invasive
Unlike dental implants, veneers or crowns, which involve more extensive tooth preparation, bonding is a minimally invasive procedure that typically requires little or no removal of the natural tooth structure.
Quick and affordable
We’re usually able to complete dental bonding for our Egham patients in just one appointment. It’s also a cheaper alternative to dental veneers and can achieve similar results.
Long-lasting
With proper care and maintenance, bonded teeth can last several years before needing to be touched up or replaced.
Natural-looking results
The resin material used in bonding can be closely matched to the natural shade of your teeth, resulting in a seamless and natural-looking finish.
Caring for your bonded teeth
Proper care and maintenance are crucial to ensure the longevity of your bonded teeth, as well as maintain good overall oral health.
Brushing and flossing
Brush twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and floss daily. Proper brushing and flossing help remove plaque and food particles that can cause staining or decay around the bonded areas.
Avoid harsh food and drinks
Drinks like coffee, tea, red wine, and cola can discolour the bonding material over time. If you do consume these beverages, rinse your mouth with water afterwards or use a straw to minimise direct contact with your teeth. Hard foods like nuts and hard-boiled sweets can also cause cracks in bonded teeth.
Stop smoking
Smoking not only stains the bonding material but also increases the risk of gum disease and other oral health issues that can compromise the integrity of your bonded teeth.
Regular check-ups
Visit your dentist regularly for professional cleanings and examinations. Your dentist can monitor the condition of your bonded teeth and recommend touch-ups or repairs if necessary.
Is dental bonding the right treatment for me?
Most people can achieve a complete smile makeover with dental bonding. If your natural teeth are in relatively good shape, it’s likely that you will be a good candidate for bonding treatment.
For more complex issues, you may require a different form of dental care. Book a consultation to speak to a dentist about your specific concerns to discover which types of dental treatments may be most appropriate for you.
