What Can Dental Bonding Help With?

Dental bonding is useful if you are experiencing a minor issue with one or several of your teeth, such as minor cracks, chips, gaps or discolouration. Bonding does not alter the structure of your teeth, but merely “fills in” where needed. Composite bonding in Drogheda is a very popular treatment for patients who wish to aesthetically improve their smile.

The Difference Between Composite Bonding and Veneers

Usually, composite bonding only partially covers the tooth, whereas composite veneers cover the entire outer tooth surface.

Composite Bonding Frequently Asked Questions

How long does composite bonding last?

Composite bonding normally lasts for many years. However, it is important to bear in mind that composite bonding is not as durable as other treatments like crowns or veneers, and as such they may need to be replaced in the future.
We will be able to discuss your options with you so you can choose the best treatment for your own specific issue.

Does composite bonding damage your teeth?

No, composite bonding will not damage your teeth. The beauty of composite bonding is that it does not replace any of your natural teeth, it simply bonds to it. For this reason, none of your natural teeth will need to be filled down to allow for composite bonding.

Can I whiten my teeth with composite bonding?

Similar to crowns or veneers, composite bonding cannot be whitened. For this reason, it is advised that you undergo whitening treatment prior to composite bonding so that you can match your bonding to your new desired tooth shade.

Is the composite bonding procedure painful?

No, patients generally do not experience pain or discomfort while undergoing composite bonding treatment. You may, however, experience some level of sensitivity after treatment, but this will return to normal shortly.

BioClear Treatment in Drogheda

BioClear is an advanced teeth bonding procedure that is minimally invasive and cost-effective. BioClear uses clear forms that are filled with heated composite material matched to the shade of your teeth.

The Biofilm (a layer of bacteria on the surface of all teeth) is removed prior to placement of the composite. The clear form sits just below the gum line so that the teeth appear to emerge naturally. Using this technique, Dr Cormac Reynolds can fill black triangles, close gaps and build up uneven teeth.

When the clear forms are removed and after the composite material has been injected, what’s left behind is a smoothly contoured composite that has a beautiful shine and is smooth to the touch.

How Does BioClear Work?

The first thing to understand is that BioClear veneers are not so much a product as they are a process. With this process, transparent plastic is wrapped around either side of the tooth to create the desired shape. Then dental composite is filled in around and between the teeth. It’s a relatively simple procedure, and because it takes a conservative approach (no grinding away of tooth structure), it’s also very comfortable.
