Broken Teeth Treatment In The City Of Liverpool

Wednesday, February 19th, 2014

Unfortunately teeth can break for many reasons including accident or injuries. At Liverpool Dental Spa, our preferred method of treating chipped or broken teeth is a little process called ‘composite bonding,’ and this is what that is…

Tell me about ‘composite bonding?’

It is a procedure that has been used within dentistry for quite some time. It basically involves the skilled, artistic use of ‘dental composite’ material, something with a consistency similar to a paste constructed from various types of resin and filler. This particular substance is used to fill in the cracks and breaks in your chosen tooth or teeth.

A typical procedure

Normally, you will only be required to make a single trip to your dentist’s. Some of the time, patients won’t even need an anaesthetic! An anaesthetic, depending on your thoughts and feelings, either will or won’t be administered and, following that, your tooth will be thoroughly cleaned with incredible precision: the composite bonding substance requires a clean surface to bond to. You will select, with the aid of your dentist, a shade of material to suite your teeth and, once selected, your tooth will be prepared with either cotton balls or a rubber band so as to keep your mouth dry. The surface will then be etched via a special gel which will help with the bonding process. The composite substance is then applied to the tooth in question and the tooth is placed under the light of a special lamp which will unlock the composite’s special qualities, helping it to set. Further composite material is supplied in smaller applications until your tooth looks as it should.

Cosmetic bonding blurs the line between science and art. Thankfully, our skilled dentists are as artful as they are knowledgeable! If you are interested in exploring cosmetic bonding, do not hesitate to contact Liverpool Dental Spa.
